Aire Waves
Leeds Canoe Club Blog. We paddle... lots!
Airewaves used to be Leeds Canoe Club's magazine letting people know what the club was upto. Its quite hard work pulling together a publication letting people know what the club is doing and publishing dates in advance is always hard as things tend to change. Step forth the blog.. Push button publishing for the masses. So here is the idea a few people in the club take it in turns to write up trips and talk about things in the club.
Saturday, September 08, 2007Skooks
Well our time in Canada has come to an end. Before we left we made one last trip out on the Ferry to Skookumchuck.
Skooks as its known locally is a tidal rapid which creates an amazing surf wave. People come from all over the world to surf the wave. It runs everyday with the tide but some days are better than others.
At slack time there is no wave and at high tide the wave is glassy green. I got a chance to surf it before it got really big. I also went on tour a few times. The tour is the wave after the wave. there are more waves, boils and whirl pools for the next mile or so. Power boats have trouble with the whirlpools so being on tour in a kayak and be a interesting.
Towards the end of the day the locals turned up...
Well we're back home now and hopefully we'll see everyone soon.
