killing time

A couple days ago, Sheldon, Benson , and myself went for a surf around noon. Not checking the computer, the tide was low and blown out. We didnt feel like traveling to Cox or Chestermans so we had a Stop at one of the handy park walks called the shore pine bog. We drive by these park hikes daily but never go on them! Little did we know the shore pine bog is a damn fine little hike. We killed an hour and ended up scoring waves and lots of stoke from Benson. So the next time the waves are crap go for a gander and enjoy a little treat from mother nature.

New Office

I finally got my New old VW on the Road. Its my new office for business and of coarse getting to the surf and back. There will be some great road trips soon to come.

Majestic Eagle

Went for a hike out in Ittastoo bay, on the way back a came across an eagle flying close by, lucky I had my 70 - 200 mm out and caught a couple while it was flying by.

Chestermans

After our long day boating up and down the coast, we ended up shooting south Chestermans at golden hour. I was shooting on the rocks while Jeremy was on the beach with his 600mm. With a couple quality sets Pete managed to get his fins in the air a couple times. Once the sun set I ran up to the car and suited up with the flash housing while Jer shot off the rocks with a pocketwizard. We managed to get a couple shots, but learned with all the interference from the water housing, ocean, and distance the pocketwizards dont fire when I float to far away from the camera. Over all the day was a little bit of a let down with all the huge expectations from this south swell that has been hitting, but practice makes perfect!!

Up Island

Hung over Sunday morning, packed my bags and headed to Tofino to meet up with Jeremy and Pete for a surf trip up island. With the Edge to Edge marathon in full swing the 45 minute drive from Ukee to tuff took close to an hour and a half. When I finally made it I met up with Jeremy and quickly packed everything into his boat and headed north for a remote break where we were planning to camping over night. After a good hour in the boat Sepp and Chris caught up on the ski with beer in hand. A good hour or so later we made it to the break, with a long period south swell the water was full of riders. Jeremy, Pete, and my self sat in Jer's boat for a good hour watching 8 riders fight for 3 sets an hour. We quickly decided we could be much more productive back at the beach breaks of chestermans. A bumpy ride back on the outer ocean route we made it back. With huge expectations of the large south swell hitting the day was not as productive as we wished but it was deffenetly a good practice day. With the small swell there was a couple good sets but Sepp and Chris managed to get a couple shots.

Virgin Falls

On your way out to the coast if you were to turn onto a logging road and drive about 2 hours into the woods you will see a very large water fall called Virgin Falls. We went for a little Saturday evening picnic. Malcolm daly and Seamus little felt like going for a swim in the icy cold water, and out of the blue Seamus felt like leaping himself off a large cliff beside the falls. It was a huge jump, with 10's across the board judges gave Seamus the gold medal of the Day.

Mount Ozzard

A couple weeks back Matt light, Geordie Stewrt Evans and my self, went for a sunset hike up Mount Ozzard located just out of Ucluelet B.C. The hike is along a logging road and takes around 2 hours to hike to the large golf ball at the summit. Pictures above are some shots from the hazzy sunset.
