Skookumchuck Narrows

Situated in Egmont,Bc. Skookumcuck is a series of tidal rapids that form on certain tides to produce what is probably the glassiest wave in the world. It’s been my dream from an early age to surf skook and this year I finally got the chance.

The waves form when the tide flows rapidly over a seemingly flat piece of water, as both the water speed and volume of water increase a reef is revealed and the wave starts to form. The first wave is the main event but much fun can be had wrestling with the boils, whirlpools and crashing waves downstream.

I’ve been working hard to progress my wave freestyle over the past few years. Check out the video I made of me and the Demshitz boys throwing down in Canada.

I have never paddled a wave that is as smooth or as nice and can’t wait to head back.

See you on the water,
