I just got back from an amazing trip to the Skookumchuck Narrows on the Sunshine coast of B.C. I’m sure you’ve all heard of it and know that it’s a world class wave that forms during high tide so I’m not going to blab anymore. Special thanks to Team Lussin (aka Natalie and Emily) and Dru Lyall for the place to stay and to everyone that took these wicked photos!
