Jordan Best

Amidst the waters and wild peaks of coastal BC, Jordan Best has spent his adult life in motion – paddling remote shorelines, hiking ridgelines, skiing deep into the backcountry and dancing with the wind on his kiteboard. After nearly two decades leading the evolution of provincial recycling systems, he has shifted course to run Cortes Kayaks. Blending ecology, ethnobotany and history with a passion for human-powered exploration, Jordan weaves ecological insight and cultural depth into each journey he guides.
