From working as a( drywall repair-painting handyman) to getting out and heading up the west coast of Vancouver Island to relax and(enjoy the outdoors) with music as a hobby, to working on videos and( hopefully perfecting my skills) as a video producer, this is my channel. Hope you enjoy the content.

I needed to find the right sound for my music projects, and along the way I tried this. My honest opinion is that it has potential, but that for my use, it would be too time consuming, dialing in all the sounds you could get, so I decided against it. I will be o.k. with something a little less complicated.

As a lifetime resident of Vancouver Island, I can speak with experience on the subject of natural ecosystems. As the first nations people have said, that (everything is connected), I now realize that our forest creatures rely on natural food sources. Starting with the flies, wild berries, seeds and grubs, being eaten by small animals including fish, which are then in turn eaten by birds of prey...

The memories are too hard to ignore, and the sadness they bring to me makes me want to make things right again. I will make it my job to get to the bottom of the decisions that led to the destruction of our beautiful River, by allowing the powerhouse to be built in the first place, and it will take some time, but what else is there to do? There will be a lot of archiving to do in order to get t...

Extra Editing Done, on audio and video tracks, some adjustments for picture centering, overexposure corrected, and slightly lower background music tracks. Also, it is 3 minutes and 18 seconds shorter than (the other) version of this video.

I decided to throw this video into this playlist because there are several clips in here that are too highly exposed. Not that it can't be watched, but that I was trying to save the over-exposed video during the editing process, in the (change colors ) option, by decreasing the exposure and adding a bit more (saturation) or, in other words,( Colour). Hope it doesn't happen again and I will do m...

Hate to say it, but this is my latest attempt at producing surfing videos, and as much as I don't like to admit it, this is the best production ever! Hope to make many more. Happy New Year!

When the tide does recede, the birds will feed, and the surfers will get the rest that they need. Shall we proceed?

Thanks for the video, but the music sounds like was composed by Frankenstein using an AI tool
Pretty close, I realized that the Modal Cobalt synthesizer I was using did in fact have an artificial intelligence sound to it, so I got rid of it. No worries though, I am using a more user friendly Stage Keyboard now, which allows you to change the sounds as you play, and still (sound like music). Thank you for the input, and I am now loading up a whole bunch of music that I am composing as I go.
Thanks for sharing your adventure👍
Thank you for the comment.
Look at those 🌊 waves
That’s a healthy and hearty meal 🥘 👍perfect for cold weather
Interesting indeed👍keep it up✅👍
great camera work. Thank you for posting this
Thank you, too! I am actually very surprised at how many people are viewing the surfing videos.
Some of the info you provided isn't accurate. Steelhead are not landlocked rainbow trout, quite opposite. Steelhead are migratory rainbow trout that live in the Pacific ocean and reproduce in fresh water creeks and rivers like salmon. Rainbow trout are only different in that they permanently reside in creeks and rivers, and don't grow as large. Landlocked is when an area once connected to an ocean is no longer and a population exists in an inland body of water
What I meant to say was that the trout in the diversion dam would come down Jordan river and occasionally make their way out to sea, and then come back to spawn in the river several years later. Sorry I was not clearer than I was.
Don't agree? Sorry, I cannot be disuaded.
@@WestCoastDennis any snowmelt or rainfall will allow those fish back. It's pretty obvious you aren't an ecoligist, and have no knowledge on basic ecology or even the biology of the fish you are talking about.
@@chrism8180 You must have missed what I was trying to say. The water management of the Diversion Dam, by the government was not sure if they were going to let any water out of the dam (during the summer months) so that the river (upstream) of the powerhouse would be able to support the wild rainbow trout that used to come out of the Diversion Dam reservoir. The last time I checked up past the powerhouse I hiked up in there to be shocked that the river was being let go pretty much dry, unable to support these wild rainbow trout that I am talking about. And no, I am not a ecologist or whatever you are trying to say. I am a human being that lived there as a teenager through the 70's and I am telling the truth about everything I am talking about. I don't like it, and the river should never have been cut-off like that. You think my words are meaningless? That is your problem/and sorry if you feel like that.

Right on!
Really good! I recall this time in Jordan River and now it seems like an abandoned area. We truly do need to be more mindful of nature from a logical and realistic, common sense approach, not the "throw money at it" attitude that our governments have adopted once they've totally raped the land. It angers me that while this knowledge should be basic elementary knowledge (I know it was for me) people and government are always trying to figure out a way to bypass this knowledge, somehow rationalizing that their destruction is ultimately for the good of all people, when it's really all about money and greed. Unfortunately, this attitude is what has put us in our current situation of massive problems in the world...bees nearly extinct, climate change, landslides, forest fires and destruction. Like Dennis said, "Who said it was OK to do this???"
I sincerely thank you for the affirmation.
Jordan River as in the country, Jordan?
Are we trying to go somewhere on this?
@ Yes. Where is this Jordan River?! Why is this simple question difficult to answer?
@@joeblow1942 No idea...
@@WestCoastDennis Well then why would you ask such a dumb question?
Well done!
And I am not claiming to be a professional piano tuner, either! Thanks!
Sounds very good, i'm surprised your channel isn't full of piano videos considering you play like a professional.
Maybe one day!
Nice tuning you did there, mind sharing the songs you played? They sound nice.
Actually, I am planning more piano tuning videos in the near future, thanks for the like on the music, it could have been played more accurately, but I was basically listening for tuning imperfections, rather than performing quality at the time.
Désolé...mais tu ne comprends pas du tout comment accorder un piano....ce piano est complètement faux 🤷
I was not actually playing songs, but just little bits and pieces of things that I discover while I am tuning a piano by ear. As far as sharing them, I really don't know what else I can do, other than leave the video on the channel, or ?
Westcoastdennis here. Uh Oh!, I just tuned into the You-tube channel Salish Sasquatch, and I don't believe what I am seeing! Check out that channel if maybe you wanna shit your pants too! ( just kidding about the shit!)
I hate to say this, but those sea lions never use to go back this way 50 years ago when I was a kid. If they are not up at the rocks just up before Sombrio beach right now, then there is something very wrong. I used to see them going back down the coast in the early spring. Not the early winter.
3 to 5 feet and crowded, soon to be more crowded. Viva Oke!
Thank you for the input, you may be right!
thanks for sharing
Thank you for saying so.
Great video! November was an incredible month for surfing!!
Yes it was!
Thanks dood! I find these videos very therapeutic. The sound of the break is great.
I am happy to hear that! There will be more .
A nice right and good music. Enjoy it, bro!
Right on, glad to hear that!
those look to be all whitewater river boats, not dedicated surf kayaks, which have more of a surfboard/planing hull
Thank you for that info, I wasn't aware of that.
Also, yeah I actually knew that these were not actually sea-kayaks, just observational footage, really
Pascoe road. Many fish.❤
Remember over a hundred fish in the ditch. Bears stole a few , but loved to watch them.
Thank you for your input.
There used to be hundreds and hundreds of salmon, it worries me to see this few.
It's actually called River Jordan, believe it or not.
Actually, I knew that, but the River Jordan in Egypt is the one that was there first, at least by name, so I just prefer to call it Jordan River. I lived there as a kid, and everyone called it Jordan River back then, so I guess it's up to the person saying it as to which way that it is said.
This week idle going to be an amazing week for films.
That depends on the conditions, of course.
JEEZ WHY BOTHER?
Oh, it was just part of what I saw that day, so I thought that it was a relevant piece of footage.
Watch out! Um seriously thinkinbout movin up there to get me sumuthose world class waves eh...
That almost sounds funny.
Thanks this was great to watch long rides at JR
Glad you enjoyed it
Rock on Dennis! Finally found you! (John from the pool)
Oh, yeah, there you are!
this rules
That's exactly what I thought! Thanks for the input.
That' what I was thinking...thanks for the input.
sewieess
Not too bad eh?
thanks for making videos of Jordan Rver. I like to see what I missed. And I like that you change up the angles, and show the different waves to be had at JR.
Glad you like them!
Glad to hear that! thanks !
1:46 best clip of the video crows are the best
Thank you for the input.
Rare day! Like a weak vrrsion of the cove at rincon. But freezing and full of killer whales.🤣
Kinda wild alright.
Brrrr.😂
Yeah, I think these surfers are pretty determined to even be out there in these kind of conditions, they must really love it .
Surfed their in the 70's, drove up from the state of Oregon, people thought we were their to dodge the draft, Got some good ones.In the back ground is state of Washington, some nice lefts their. The Straits of Juan De Fuqua , some remarkable surf spots..
Right on, nothin wrong with surfing...
I'm surprised that you are allowed to do this...
Do what? Is this too good to be true or something?
Hardcore surfers. Too cold for me.
I think so too, but for me they are the workers in my videos and they are pretty cool alright!
I surfed Jordan river in 1973 I was 17 and a “warm” current was present. Sept No one there no parqueo. Just the point and driftwood Waves were so epic eventually there were 3 others out with me then? Back to the pot holes in Sooke for a cold fresh water dip before ending that Great adventure Surfed Wiff n Spit very clean about waist high in October never saw anyone else there. Very rare occasion
Thank you for the feedback
Busy day out there! I passed by when you were recording
No shit eh? Wonder why I never saw you!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR MUSHROOM STUMPS
No problem, I know it works!
very cool. nice job and commentary
Thank you for the feedback!
Some of the writers shown on this wall have been writing graffiti for 30 years. Theres a very long history of graffiti on the Island, with many talented artists being created. These artists have dedicated their lives to painting, and they paint every single day. They have a huge underground community and dont really care about fame other than their clout in the graffiti scene. Great stuff.
Yeah, the art is definitely for real! Thanks for the comment!
Awsome Shots! Love it out there!
Right-on! Me too.

Thank you for the feedback.
Your moving the camera too much, making me dizzy. Had to turn it off.
