Chapman falls is located just outside of Sechelt B.C., very close to the Skookumchuck Narrows. Over the past ten days I’ve been lucky enough to spend lots of time surfing the amazing wave at Skook and also managed to gain V.I.P. access to this very cool set of waterfalls.

Anyone that keeps track of these things might of noticed that Atlantic Kayaker hasn’t been updated for a while. Unfortunately it was hacked and has just been put back to normal, long story short here we are again.

I got back from Colorado just in time to catch the tail end of creeking season in Alberta and in time for things to really get going in B.C. After less than a day back in Canada Scott Feindel was at me to go paddling. First we hit up Cataract Creek in Southern Alberta which is one of my favourite runs in the area. It’s got an awesome waterfall, a decent sized slide and lots of good drops in between. After Cataract we took a day off before heading to Revelstoke.

The 15^th annual Kananaskis Whitewater Festival was held over the weekend. Rain and cold temps made the event hard on the eyes and anything you wanted to keep dry but it didn’t stop well over a hundred paddlers from all over Canada from showing up to have a good time. Kan Fest is without a doubt one of the largest festivals in Canada and is the funest one that I’ve been to.

The Elk is one of those runs that’s short but oh so sweet, like Belgium chocolate…even though I don’t like chocolate… I’ve heard people that do say that stuff is delicious. The Elk is just outside of Fernie B.C. and is a great start to the season in western Canada. This little mission was formed though the power of Facebook, ah yes Gragtmans would be proud!
