How I Broke my Nose Messing with Elk
The day started off just like any other paddling mission from Calgary. I got up early, met Mikkel and we headed to Fernie to paddle the Upper Elk. We had three choices of places to go for the weekend and for some reason Fernie was at the bottom of my list. It worked best to go there for Mikkel and since it really didn’t matter to me where we paddled I didn’t have a problem going. Have you ever felt like you were getting a sign or that someone was trying to tell you something? Well, Fernie being on the bottom of my list was sign one.

I just got back from an amazing trip to the Skookumchuck Narrows on the Sunshine coast of B.C. I’m sure you’ve all heard of it and know that it’s a world class wave that forms during high tide so I’m not going to blab anymore. Special thanks to Team Lussin (aka Natalie and Emily) and Dru Lyall for the place to stay and to everyone that took these wicked photos!

Chapman falls is located just outside of Sechelt B.C., very close to the Skookumchuck Narrows. Over the past ten days I’ve been lucky enough to spend lots of time surfing the amazing wave at Skook and also managed to gain V.I.P. access to this very cool set of waterfalls.

No commentsStoked on Revelstoke
Anyone that keeps track of these things might of noticed that Atlantic Kayaker hasn’t been updated for a while. Unfortunately it was hacked and has just been put back to normal, long story short here we are again.
I got back from Colorado just in time to catch the tail end of creeking season in Alberta and in time for things to really get going in B.C. After less than a day back in Canada Scott Feindel was at me to go paddling. First we hit up Cataract Creek in Southern Alberta which is one of my favourite runs in the area. It’s got an awesome waterfall, a decent sized slide and lots of good drops in between. After Cataract we took a day off before heading to Revelstoke.
