The Makah tribe on Cape Flattery, Washington state, allow us to paddle or surf to our hearts content. There are places they'd rather not have us but that isn't usually a problem. The biggest bargain in watersports is the 7 dollar recreation pass they issue for the year. Perhaps the folks up on Vancouver Island will be as accessible as the Makah. However, should that not be the case I have a suggestion: FEATHERCRAFT. I have not once paddled Vancouver Island because it takes for frickin ever to get there. Much easier to hop a plane bound for Sitka or Ketchikan, buy some camp fuel, fill up the waterbags and head on out. I'm not trying to dissuade you from a Barkley or Clayoquat mission, but I'd be in a really isolated camp by the time you got done beating your car to death on a Tofino bound logging road.
