Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Kayaking can take you to such unique places and experiences that I don’t think many other people ever get to experience.

@stokeiometry definitely! My son and I spearfish, like you said, kayaks get us there. I'm not a great paddler like you - I used to be, but it catches up to you (shoulder tears, wrist/elbow issues). So, I'm old and painfully more slow. But I also built houses, rock climbed, mountain biked, distance hiked - not just the kayaks. Good life though! Mostly worth it.

sounds like an adventurous life! as it should be, live and learn, that’s all we can do. can’t really do one without the other or you’re not really doing it right.

these peps have paddled before. omg dude lets Hoh please omg

it’s the supsquatch!

lol 😂

Yeahhh!

Yeah Buddy!

I got a edit for this last season ready to get published soon too, Shoops 3...

West of the bridge, big westerly winds on an ebb tide

does a duck duck or dive when it duck dives?

Glad you enjoy it!

It was actually super fun!

Surf spots are something special to surfers and detailed information typically isn’t advertised especially for lesser known spots. Granted I did publish a video on UA-cam doing just that, however the spots in this video are pretty easy to find and access just by using Google earth and they are arguably already well known by the I-5 corridor surfers. Nevertheless I don’t want to ruin the fun of a scavenger hunt for surf because the search is part of the fun of surfing and one of my favorite parts. That’s my disclaimer.

🤙🏽🤙🏽 mahalo!

I almost felt like the extra width and somewhat flat bottom on the v5 made it more tippy in the chop and in surfing waves where maybe a more rounded bottom boat feels like it rolls over/through the chop. It might be the difference between the primary and secondary stability built into the different models.

@@stokeiometry interesting, I might need to try one to see.

Hopefully they bring the race back one day.

Thanks bro, do you produce your own tunes?

It was reminding me of goats

I've got more footage coming on the way of the storms

Have you ever seen anyone surfing out there?

Surprisingly not, its all bullkelp so the tops are pretty thick, i could definitely feel them bouncing off the rudder.

Its funny how generic some names are, but no, this is just having some fun in some unlikely opportunities for waves up in Belliingham

It gets bigger for sure

Oh yeah! chunky is a good description!

I’m going to try to not give location details unless the spot is well known. If everyone knew where it was then maybe it wouldn’t be so deserted. if you can recognize the landmarks then good on you, but I see no need to advertise locations to lesser known nuggets.

​@stokeiometry thank you. To the commenter, if you get out and explore you'll find some fun stuff, but we don't need to advertise them

its got a twin that's a left as well, not sure if you can see it in the vid, it also has a big rock right outside the impact zone.

I used to live down in Coos Bay for a season, I loved it out there, lots of nooks and crannies depending on the wind and swell. 👌

Haven’t been able to check it since but we’ve had some big swell roll through.

not in Washington lol! but fo reals you should know better than to ask on the internet

@@stokeiometry i know this aint washington. Like i recognize its home in the islands. I also recognize the mountains but i dont. If i had to guess its somewhere on the westside of oahu my hometown just dont know

get good surf down in Oregon, plus plenty canoe clubs in that area too.

Thanks, it always is worth it just to get in the water!

I've seen other Hawaiians out there charging the shorebreak one other time, they had the whole sandys vibe setup wit a popup tent in the back of a pickup and reggae music blasting.

Great to hear. I have watched this spot for many years. There was a time it was regularly surfed before it became primarily a shorebreak. Still on occasion gets good besides aside from a shorebreak but even as a shorebreak always surprised more people dont surf here considering all the other shorebreaks surfed around the world. Skim board too@@stokeiometry

I've heard stories of a mythical sandbar that used to be there, but I haven't seen it in the flesh yet.

consistent hollow A frames breaking further offshore with fall- spring southerly offshore winds. Main jetty disrupted sediment flow going north and around into cove and groins jetties also disrupted sediment flow east to west. Spot slowly deteriorate over the decades from those project. City could pump in sediment to help out. But those jetties did produce some good waves eh. @@stokeiometry

That what I've heard about the sediment flux, but nature always finds an equilibrium@@J_Smith7

Yeah I think thats the spot round these parts.

send it for the boys!

if you’re serious email me at stokeiometry @ gmail. com 🤙🏽

4/3 but with the full hood gloves and booties. the newer neoprene is way better than the old stuff so I feel like I’m able to get away with a little less rubber

Thanks Denise!

A while ago bro! You missed it!

yep

Thanks!

Welcome koys🥰 keep safe always🥰🥰

?

Yeah the downwind isn't as consistent as other spots like the gorge or something but when it goes it really has some juice! Also there's always the issue of getting sucked out by the current if something happens, but if you could make it to the southside of the channel, I think it turns into a giant eddy, or on the northside there is the eddy behind Pass Island you can duck into. Definitely nice to have a spotter on land and a buddy on the water!

Downwind but up-current...

It was so fun to stumble upon them out there and then run back to my car to get a camera because they were just killing it out there lap after lap!

@@stokeiometry Very cool.

lot of sand has been shifting around nowadays
