Jesse and Sarah Beck met while surfing in San Juanico when they were teenagers. Jesse had been going to Baja since he was a baby. After a few years camping in various spots, Sarah's family had recently bought a home in San Juanico. One morning, she was surfing by herself at dawn when Jesse paddled out. Mildly perturbed that she would have to share the waves, she was surprised to see the red-haired boy she had seen from afar the summer before. She said hello, and remarked that they had met before (as it turns out, she had met his brother the previous year). Jesse noted wryly, "no, no, I would've remembered you."

They surfed again that afternoon and went to a Halloween party at Sarah's house that night. As they like to say, the rest is history. Sarah and Jesse went on to get married and have two beautiful children. These days you will find them exploring Baja's back roads and finding off-the-beaten-path experiences to share with the children.

In this conversation, they share their favorite Baja destinations and their ongoing passion for the people and the place.
