Awesome video! Can a surfer catch that wave on the fly (without a motorboat)?

Pat Finnegan aloha
Yes you can but at this level it is really difficult. You can catch maybe it twice out of ten attempts. The problem is the shit down current is pretty scary to paddle through. Aloha

Cool video. Do you mind if I use some of this footage in a video I'm working on regarding transiting this rapids via Sailboat?

Be very careful, great vid and I have been to the location being from BC and a ocean going boater

Great video. I own a paddlesport company right here on the Sunshine Coast where this wave is. FYI, it's not a river. This is entirely ocean; a tidal rapid where the water rushes in and out of the Sechelt Inlet at the Skookumchuck Narrows

River Surfing - 8 years ago

right on! thanks for the reply. yes, check out video description. I make it very clear that Skook is a tidal exchange. this is to hopefully save lives. aloha

Tidal bore.

I'm going to be a pedantic asshole and point out that this isn't a tidal bore. A bore is the leading edge of a tide, which forms a moving wave at the beginning of the flow tide, versus this is a wave train formed by a tidal race.

This is the pacific ocean near Sechelt.

woo hoo looks fun Eli ..... you can dial in your cutbacks on that wave !! keep the videos coming and great to watch you in your element ...... frenchy

Yes. Imagine one that is a perfect barrel, a perfect stationary transition of water, a skate ramp of water. So it truly blends surfing & skating in that regard. The medium for the rider is always the same.
