SKOOKUMCHUCK NARROWS; tidal rapids eXpLAiNeD

Welcome to the Skookumchuck Narrows, a tidal rapid that is well known by tide enthusiasts and kayakers for its massive standing wave and insane whirlpools… In this video, I’m linking up with one of the first surfers I’ve heard of to frequent this place, blending the lines between surfing and kayaking… and getting to experience the special place these two worlds meet. Special thanks to Nick Legge-Wilkinson, and the kayak crew, Marco Colella, Pat Corcoran, Jacob Mermelstein, Sophie Gilfillan for sharing your world with me. What a cool experience. This one is seared into the memory banks!
