Wetcoast Week (part 1, April 16): Saturday Surfing

Looked like it was going to blow out in the Fraser Valley (too windy for flying in lay terms). But friends were talking of going over to the Sunshine Coast to surf at Skookumchuck Narrows.

Although with the recent cold weather and fresh snow late season powder turns were also an option, kayaking seemed like better thing to do. When skiing and paddling are options, than its likely too warm/et for skiing and too cold for paddling. That’s what we thought when we drove off the ferry and a huge cumulus clouds burst showering us with hail and rain.

But up in Egmont the weather was very nice, albeit a bit nippy. Surfing the big roaring wave at Skooks was fun as usually, as was the tour on flat water before and after the surf session. It always amazes me how quiet it is as soon as one gets away from the wave, and how abundant (sea) life is in the ocean.
