North American Tour #7- Baja Roads and Mexican Police

We arrived in Mexico rather suddenly, that is, we drove through a set of lights and that was it. There was no one asking for ID, no signs that said “welcome to Mexico” and basically no border. We instantly had no clue what we were doing!

North American Tour #6- Park and Huck Dune Style

We were so close. Only an hour from San Diego and what do we come across, miles of sand dunes. As far as the eye could see perfect hills of sand just like in the movies only they’re covered in guys on four wheelers, dirt bikes, and dune buggies. We pull off to check it out and as we get closer I decide that it’d be a great idea if we take a break and go sand boating. Read more

Shogomoc

The shogomoc river is a classic nb creek run.The river is a pool drop river with lots of fun technical drops. The Shogomoc is a spring run, but can also reach optimum flows with good rain.

Enchanted hike

After a nice warm up hike you put on the river at killer fangs falls this drop can be run either far river left which involves some technical moves or you can run it dead center and hold on, just watch out for the rooster tail in the center. this run also features a nice 70 foot slide without any hazards. There are many more fun drops on the river but theese two make the run what it is and what better way to end the day than a little bit of hole play in a creek boat.
