Introduction

I have had a PASSION for the outdoors for 44 years: outdoor leadership and skills instruction; 1977 NOLS graduate; canoeing/whitewater kayaking/ocean kayaking; downhill/cross-country/telemark skiing; hiking; backpacking; mountaineering.

Do you have a kayak? What kind?

Yes, 10 at the present time (incl. several whitewater kayaks). Prijon and WaveSport, + 3 SOF.

Where have you paddled on the west coast?

Indian Arm in the winter; Broken Group Islands every month of the year; Nootka Sound; Clayoquot Sound

Are you interested in organizing trips?

Yes, if the group size is small (No more than 6 folks)

What kind of trips would you like to do with the SKUNCS?

Multi-day (3 to 7 days) duration. Interested in ocean kayaking, hiking, backpacking, and skiing buddies, especially those who might occasionally be available during the week and who want to stay ahead of the 'beaten track and crowds'.

What do you enjoy most about sea kayaking?

Anyone who has done it...what is there to say? WOW!

  • This kind of adventure is part and parcel of why I returned west. Have access to equipment, but need formal instruction. With overwinter instruction and preparation I might be ready for this trip. Would appreciate your input in that regard.

  • Hi Brad, the level 3 course was great, we are going to be paddling Cow Bay practising rolls and braces and rescues again in the afternoon of Nov 5th if you feel like coming up for it (busy this weekend). We are interested in the Deer Group or BGI for next spring but its too early to commit. please keep us posted! thanks

  • Hi Brad,

    we had a great time last week bracing and rolling with you on Elk lake, - I would love to join on the Deer Group but the timing is off for me - I will be prepping for my level 3 at the end of that week. The roll is coming along well, but still needs practice! I will likely be on Cowichan Bay on Oct 3rd working on the routine. Maybe we will see you there if the Deer Group doesnt go ahead?

  • Hi Brad,
    I am still back east and still recovering from this very difficult eye surgery. basically the surgeon blinded me so it's hard to read and use the computer....I still am hopeful that the blinding light will diminish. But in any case i am back in victoria on the 26th and will be back on the water after that. As for dues.....just hold on for the moment.
    regards
    Ron

  • Hi Brad - you can email me at [masked]

    Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you. Sorry I didn't realize you had sent a message. I'm not sure how I would know there is a message waiting for me. Maybe my personal email is supposed to notify me. I'll check my spam folder. Maybe your previous note went there. Take care, talk to you later

  • Hello Brad,
