Meet Pedro! Since leaving Canada, Pedro’s been Meet Pedro!

Since leaving Canada, Pedro’s been on a wild ride—kayaking in Pakistan, guiding on New Zealand’s Kaituna River, and now, he’s back in Argentina... but not for long! 🌎✈️

Fresh off a season in NZ, he’s heading back north, ready to take on Squamish’s rivers once again! 🇳🇿➡️🇨🇦 Known for his electric energy ⚡, sharp humor 😂, and just the right amount of mischief, Pedro is the guide who turns every trip into an adventure you won’t forget.

But don’t just take our word for it:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Did the ‘Wet & Wild Elaho Exhilarator’ tour with Pedro and have nothing but great things to say. He guided us through the rapids like a pro while keeping us laughing the whole way. Can’t recommend enough!”

Ready to ride with Pedro?

Meet Dahlia! Back for another season on the Squa Meet Dahlia! 

Back for another season on the Squamish rivers, Dahlia is bringing her skill, stoke, and a whole lot of girl power to the team! 💪🏼 Originally from Gaspésie, Québec, she’s been paddling since she was a kid and has spent over a decade chasing whitewater.

This season, she’s fired up to take on more time on the oars and share her love for the river with every crew that hops in her boat. We’re lucky to have her back!
