Baja Ha-Ha 2011 Survey

Please note: This survey is meant for 2012 Baja Ha-Ha boat owners only.

Please take a few minutes to fill out the following short survey, which will be of tremendous help in preparing for future Ha-Has. We are not interested in your name, boat name or any personal identification.

Please fill out as soon as possible, i.e. before you're "off the grid".

PLEASE NOTE: Both Baja Ha-Ha, LLC, and Latitude 38 Publishing have long-standing policies that they NEVER share personal info on entrants to their events. So your answers below will always remain anonymous. However, as an incentive for filling out the survey we've offered rally participants like you a shot at winning some free Latitude 38 'swag'. Check below if you're interested. Whether you check yes for swag or no to remain anonymous, your answers below are very helpful and appreciated!
