Hi! Okay, so........there we were in beautiful British Colum
bia last weekend on a little kayak adventure.....These pictures were taken in 1/2 hour intervals. The first picture was taken just as the tide was beginning to turn at around 4:00pm on Saturday.As you can see, the water is totally
calm and flat, and when you look at

it, you wonder, "now how is a wave
going to end up there?"
Well, some time go
es by, and you start seeing ripples, and then you can just sit and stare at it, and slowly watch it grow. It is just like watching a sunrise or a sunset, but slower. The water starts ripping by, like water flowing down a drain. (Maybe around 10 knots?) It is quite a phenomenom. I stopped taking the photos after the 5:30 ones because I had to get in on that myself.
Well, it was more like get in there and flail my arse around, as I am not really in super paddling shape.......but damn, that sure is a cool place. So, by 6:30ish, the wave was even larger, and at that point, you drop in from the top and just float into it and get stopped by a nice fluffy wall of foam. It is quite fun. It is even fun to be there if you are not a kayaker. Swear. People were down there and they looked like they were having fun. They were talking, stuffing their faces, you know, good old Canadian fun, eh. The walk down, through the forest is bitchin'. ...big tall cedars, ferns, moss, filtered sunlight, poisonous berry bushes. The person in the kayak is my broham.....not me, so there is no use even trying to make fun of it. Besides, he looks great, right?
