Показать описание
This is an exciting compilation of funny, scary, peaceful, amazing, and epic experiences while paddling around Vancouver Island, British Columbia, over the last year.

Shot in Clayoquot Sound, Broken Group Islands, Gulf Islands, Haida Gwaii, Broughton Archipelago, Surge Narrows, Nuchatlitz, and Kyuquot.

Watch this video in High Definition ( High-Definition high-def HD) for your best experience.

There are many reasons to sea kayak, and what I show here are just a few of my reasons, ranging from surfing tidal rapids, to watching wildlife. You can watch Orca ( Killer Whale ), Humpback Whales, Stellar Sea Lions ( sealions ), Pacific Whiteside Dolphins ( White side ), and all the little critters. Including a Lewis' Moonsnail, Vermillion Starfish, Ochre Star, and more. Bald Eagles, and Wolves ( wolf ).

Surf tidal rapids at Surge Narrows, paddle in rock gardens in Clayoquot Sound, or surf in Tofino.

Practice sea kayak rolling using a Greenland Paddle ( Pawtik ). Crash in an epic collision while surfing. Paddle along Goletas Channel, paddle in the Broughton. Sit back and enjoy the campfire. Kayak fishing, fish for salmon while kayaking. Cook your fish over camp fire ( campfire ). Watch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean.

These images have been collected over the last year using mostly a GoPro HD Camera. Supplementry images collected with a Nikon D70 SLR, Olympus and Sony cameras.

I generally am wearing a Kokatat drysuit or paddle jacket. In these videos I paddle a Current Design Gulfstream and a Current Design Solstice GTS kayak. I also paddle using a Werner Kalliste paddle, and an Epic Paddle.

Wow! Yet another great video! Love watching your paddling adventures! What happened at 4:25? Crazy awesome year of paddling! Thank you so much for sharing.

The Broken Islands are incredible. Even after paddling there dozens of times, there is always more to see. Plan to spend 5+ days, and even than you won't see it all.

Lol... 4:25 - we were out surfing during a paddling event... there were dozens of kayakers in the water... I got greedy, and took a wave sooner than I should have. My fault! :) No lasting damage other than a chip to the fiberglass on my boat.

:) Thanks! At 4:25, got hit by a fellow paddler while surf kayaking... no lasting damage. I talk about it in another video: The "Surf Kayak Crash Carnage" video (a little mellow dramatic title)
