why does BAJA make you smile?


After 6 or 13 knee-buckling waves every day, for four straight days, shared between 1-6 others each session (after the solo morning go-out!), how do you rewind????? What gets you going for the next paddle out, after it was just “perfect, with no one else out!!!!!!!!”

edit: Y WE GO!!!!

Yah, you know you're in heaven if you have to ask yourself if you have enough strength to go back out into another perfect session!

Woody...it's damn tough, but we persevere and somehow get right back out there. :rolleyes:

WOW! David, where did you see those Big Horn? I'd love to see!

I also like how the first image was of nice waves, and the second image was of Glass as far as you can see!

I dont think I could pin point why we love Baja? There are just too many images to post and way too many reasons to list why we love it here.

I probably say most of the all...The People! Everyone has the same attitude. Have fun, Relax and Enjoy yourself!;D

Finding a perfect moment, with only a few to share 20 minutes from La Paz.

Can you guess where?

Chico's new puppy to replace "Amigo" (DEP)


"Guantes" was constantly untying my shoe!!!

Love at first sight.

Diane's last image of the family encouraging their little racer literally brought me to tears.

EMAGINE a world where every child received that kind of support.

David, great story and photos of your drive out to the mission! If we had someone to go with, I'd probably try and make that trip on the way back North.

That little Oasis looks like something out of a movie set!

Many thanks! It is one of the most special places in Baja... and that latest trip in, last May, proved it!
