INTENSIVE FREESTYLE CAMP

Our trip

Intensive Freestyle this is the dream place to progress your freestyle on big wave! Perfect and regular wave help to understand the riddim and technicality of tricks having time to do them over and over and then analyse the difference on right performance to perfect the desired moves!

3-8 people

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!

  • 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.
