One thing that is not so great about the Skook is the Tour. The tour is when you miss the eddy after the wave and get swept away from the very strong current. If you look at the picture to the right you can see me way off in the distance fighting boils and whirlpools to get into the cove and be able to paddle back up to the wave. At this level there isn't too much danger if you are an experienced kayaker. However, even pro's have swam here when the tides are higher.
The trip takes about 8 hours one way. It's a combination of driving, crossing the Canadian border, catching the ferry up the coast, and more driving but totally worth it. British Columbia is such a beautiful place and anyone that has never been should try and go.
