Just remind me to have the paddle in hand next time :-). Doug replies: There's a reef system off Nootka that extends far out to see. On a high tide with a moderate swell, cresting but non-breaking wave sets move at just the right height and speed to allow extremely long rides with little effort. One paddler I know, Doug Alderson, rides for 100's of meters twirling his paddle above him. Man I hate that guy :-) Ahhh, those endless summer days...
