Basil Newburn

San Mateo, California

Pilot, sailor, backpacker, climber, paddler, and more. I love getting outside and sharing adventures with friends.

I grew up in the northwoods of Wisconsin and I have been in love with the outdoors for as long as I can remember. Some favorite adventures: Trekking in Patagonia; flying instruments through grey overcast to the shining sun above; backpacking the weeklong Long Range Traverse in wild Newfoundland with no marked or maintained trails; sailing 8' centerboards through 43' keelboats in Wisconsin, New York, California, and the BVI; flying offshore from southern California to Santa Catalina Island; expedition canoeing in the Boundary Waters; summiting a fourteener; cycling a weeklong journey through northern Wisconsin to the shores of Lake Superior; flying over Tokyo and the Serengeti; kayaking with dozens of migrating humpback whales off the California coast.
