Rafael Ortiz. "The Mexican
has garnered a massive legion of fans with his aggressive, all-out approach and
he can regularly be seen hurling his boat off 100-foot waterfalls and down the
gnarliest of whitewater runs. Ortiz learned to paddle in Veracruz but honed his
skills in Canada and in 2005 became the first Mexican ever to compete at the
World Freestyle Championships.
After being the second extreme kayaker to conquer the world's highest waterfall that stands at 57m high, Rafa Ortiz returns home to the waterfalls on the Alseseca Veracruz River to start with his new Chasing Waterfalls project."
