Have you been to Long beach [Vancouver island, BC, Canada] they get some realllll nice waves there, took my surf class there, it was a surfing good time... You did mention the west coast of the island before, I think the lower 1/2 from barkley sound to Sooke/Victoria has great surfing possibilities... Now the best kayak surf waves I seen was on the other side of the pond, China beach has great waves in December/january, and being a sandy shore, they are quite evenly timed and such... 450 kms suth of there on the north side of Hom Gom peninsula is the country's best surf area, but it is reefy and rocky, not baby bottom smooth like china beach... By the way, I am putting together a bunch of tx for a spring trip to Vietnam, cheao like borsh, 3 weeks [feb21 to march 10] looks like under $ 500.00USD return from Seattle... Will be building S & G yaks from dec 5 to then, so we can have a fleet awaiting the folks ... Just though I'd trow this in as a tease... 94 days to go, 94 days to go... to h&_at_#*l with the snow, I'll be in the sun having loads of fun... 94 days to go ... somehow, this litle refrain has been in my head full time for 1 week already... no idea why...
