Today was a good day. Long story short I got the day off work. Tide was low around 1 in the afternoon. I headed down to a spot suggested by Kyle Lynch (Tydle Mag) on SkimBC. It was definitely worth the drive! Free parking with little to no traffic, cannot ask for much else. Furthermore there were more tidal pools than you could hope for! I scoped a few pools and decided to set up my set my jibs. I brought down a little rail and a 3 foot piece of PVC pipe to session.
The session started poorly. It was one of those days when you wish you stayed at home, as frustration mounted as I could not keep my board below my own two feet. Bails were a frequent event.
After having a lunch break I decided to stick it out and keeping chugging along like the Little Engine The Could. Finally I started landing tricks. It felt so good to persevere through my initial frustrations. Ended up dialling-in my backside and front side tricks on my box.
Anyways, I unfortunately have to work tomorrow. Will post a few pictures tomorrow!
Nighty night.

- Well hello there. This blog was created to document the happenings and randomness in my day to day life. I am currently living and studying at the University of Victoria on Vancouver Island. I spent the last year studying in Wales, giving me an international perspective on life. Returning to BC I have become a staple in the skim scene, pushing the progression of the skimboarding in British Columbia. I hope to do this for many years to come. Thanks for stopping by. Check back for updates.Cheers,
