Why Skook?

This is probably the most iconic and regular wave that you can rely on! Thanks to the fact that is tidal, we can perfectly predict when it works and plan a great paddling camp in company of starfish, seals and other kayakers coming from all around the world to make most of that beautiful place!

Surfing at Skook

Skook is one of the most beautiful and iconic waves in the world. Located on the sunshine coast of British Columbia, the wave at Skookumchuck narrows is formed when the tide change causes water to rush between two land masses and over an inland reef.

The wave forms during the afternoon at this time of year, so our mornings will be spent chilling out, reviewing video from our previous session and doing technique sessions to prep for the afternoon session. Each day, about 3 hours before the wave is due to peak we will start our ~45mins walk down to the wave through a pristine temperate rainforest. Once there we will get our 3-4 hours on the wave. This might not sound like much paddling each day but we can assure you that you’ll be sleeping well at night!

On this trip

Progress your kayaking at one of the most legendary waves with highly experienced, fully qualified instructors.
A playboater’s heaven where you can push your freestyle to the next level whether it’s learning to spin for the first time or nailing your airscrew.

Custom Trip Dates

These dates are flexible. We will alter the length and start dates to suit your needs wherever possible, and do our best to arrange a completely new date if that’s what you require. Drop us an email if the date you want is not there.

Is this the right trip for me?

Intermediate / advanced playboating skills would be high recommendation for that trip. The wave is great but you want to have your surfing basics already so you can enjoy moving around and starting to learn the moves. Solid roll is important. If you have any doubt at all whether your ability suits this trip, drop us an email and we would be happy to advise.
