If our experience here in Australia is anything to go by, this sort of exposure has led to the entire country being overrun by bloody tourists. Nowhere is sacred, especially thanks to social media, there is now basically nowhere here that people won't camp. From Cape York to supermarket carparks, there are Europeans sleeping in cars. Can't fish, surf, just get outside in peace. Don't let this happen to your backyard Canuck's! There is no going back.
I'm Australian. Rubbish. There's a thousand miles of mainly uncrowded warm water surf from the Victoria border to Noosa for starters. Australia will be desperate for tourist income to help pay off the pandemic borrowings for the next decade or two.
Its the story of internet and the number of fn people in the world.....1960 3.5 billion 2020....more like 8 billion and they all want want want and want it NOW , no studying weather charts , tides, wind pattens ect ect then doing the miles.grrrrrrrrrrrrr grumpy old fart rant over.
@@nou238 I'm with you there. I'm 69 and have been surfing since I was a teenager and still doing it, so like you I have seen some changes. I'm not critical of the young ones going on an adventure and using technology we didn't have although through that technology they are denied something, like using nature to be comfortable in the wilderness, what it's like to be lost in the wilderness, challenging oneself and one's resourcefulness in the face of danger, which is another way of saying getting close to nature. For a privileged few who see it as their calling it's all al fresco dining, beers on deck, drone footage, self marketing my brand and comfy beds. So enjoy what we pioneered boys and girls but making a doco of look at us were soooo fuckin cool exposing beautiful, sacred places whether they like it or not is the first step in it's destruction. I live in a place that was heaven. The surfing media and the tourist industry utterly destroyed it. There was a study done in the early 70's on tourism it predicted what we now know for sure, that tourism destroys nature and displaces the incumbent people and their way of life replacing it with a highly urbanized culture along with their values. I'm grateful I experienced something that can NEVER be repeated. It's a shame I couldn't hand that on.
@@gregorybaillie2093 Agreed. On the other hand, Australian corporation MacMillan-Bodel and Japanese buyers were clearcutting like no tomorrow and this had to be exposed to be stopped. I was there 1989, timberwars in full swing, i saw it and it was deep, way deeper than the issue of pristine solitude for a few locals about to lose it ALL . So eco-tourism has its role, and what was left of the silting-up blown-out salmon streams and the old growth necessary to prevent all that kept alive the small trollers, small loggers, sportfishing, orca tour operators and yes, first nations ways of life, as stewards against the multinational juggernaut of wholesale mechanized mass destruction. Unfortunately, that's the trade-off we're faced with.
Just like Indo, Except for the colder water, shorter rides, lack of epic reef passes, lack of consistent offshore trade winds, lack of exposure to the consistent roaring 40’s swell window, bears instead of tigers, less clarity of water, less strength of sun, and the fact that ya need much mo rubba!
Lovely edit! Having kayak-camped the coast of Vancouver Island nonstop from around summer solstice in June to around autumn equinox in September, the experience was long daylight, lush life, supreme wildness w aching beauty.. but be forewarned: sun is elusive, rains whenever, the outer coast can be squally - treacherous, tides are radical and there was no swell all summer.. none, except for some funky longboard beachbreak. For the points and reefs, go the rest of the year, but be very, very, VERY well-dressed; seasick meds recommended.
Secret spots are over. You got TH-cam, Instagram, Facebook. Over 3 billion of the 7.6 billion people on the planet own a smartphone which has a camera and video capability so they can post photos and video 15 seconds after recording it. Airline tickets in 2019 are were cheaper for international flights than anytime since the 70s. I have been traveling the world surfing since 1980. You can't stop it. You are better off changing your attitude by being polite and share waves or otherwise you will just be a negative person not enjoying yourself and bumming others out. Go ahead if you like, be bummed out, see what that does for you. The other side of it is there are 100 times more surf spots known now than the 70s. I surfed in the 1960s but we didn't travel as much, didn't know about chopes, Fiji, Indonesia etc. I would suggest to you that now is the best time ever to be a surfer. The equipment is 100 times better, great waves everywhere and you can plan trips knowingyou will get waves with surf forecasting beingso accurate. We use to drive for 12-22 hours into Baja not knowing if a swell would hit. In fact, I am getting better waves in 1990-2020 than I ever did from 1964 when I started -1989. So the internet isn't all bad. You are looking at the past with rose colored glasses.
I don't think Mr.everybody can travel like they did, it's more about the edit with great picture and amazing soundtrack. For sure some people will want to go there, but if you think how remote it is and how hard it can be to score this place..very few people will be able to go
Mathis Feuillatre 90% of surfers would get destroyed on those waves. The pros make it look easy, they are not. Factor in the cold water and restrictive thick wetsuit/hoodie, there’s a reason these spots still have no one on them. Looks beautiful and fun but not jealous. Putting on a semi wet wetsuits sucks, having your ear canal slowing fill in due to cold water exposure sucks, having numb toes sucks, wearing a 4/3 hoodie over time sucks, dark blue water in the middle of nowhere always gets your mind thinking. Locals need not to worry, not the next Indo boat trip.
As to answer the titles question the answer would be NO . The reality of scoring waves like this is low . Yes the coastline gets lots and lots of swell but there is no trade winds that groom it daily and you are often dealing with big tide swings and currents ... blue skies while you surf rarely happens. What you do get is adventure and the chance to see some beautiful wildlife ...this is my opinion.
Thank God for you locals. It's just like me when I find a great empty pool to ride. Got to keep it a secret as long as u can with just your tight crew. Otherwise it gets blown out by disrespectful people and it's over pools come and go and there usually in trashed not desired areas anyhow unlike pristine coastline. Nonetheless the search continues for pools and surf.
a million times more fickle than Indo...but, full admit, I'm in love with the idea of a bunch wealthy kooks dropping a bunch of cash & getting skunked/poured on:)
World-class waves, world-class surfers livin' da stoked Life & shreddin'!! Looks legit to me....and no ice-cream headache paddle-outs (from shore)!! Good on you!! Thanks for sharing brahs!! Mahalo.
Yup I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like SoaD or Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background. If crazy like then always heavy tho
Water isn’t that cold for a swim in summertime. You’d just really be missing the wetsuit if you stayed in the water for a while, like you would surfing
Nice totem pole shots, thanks for leaving out any mention of indigenous cultures, their plight with the RCMP, or the fact that they are the first line of water defenders and have been stewards of the land for milenia.
Sign me up please. Grew up in Washington State. Been in San Diego since 87’. There are waves in the PNW. Just like any region it’s all timing and being in top of it. Anyone ever surfed the WA coast? I drove out to Westport once when a swell was supposedly happening. There were die hards out but it was victory at sea. Spoiled. Didn’t even paddle out. Curious if anyone has surfed the region and caught it clean.
@@henriamesse-morrish8276 please, noone is going to blow out your spots haha, it's Canada for Christ sake. who the hell wants to surf in anything over a 3/2 consistently year round. Just not worth it.
Sure it will... bring your US $$$, buy some beer, have some burgers - surf all you want...Lucky if you see another person out on the water; seals and otters excluded...
Is Canada the new boat trip spot? Nah... Canada won't let the majority of us in anyway. If you got a drink driving charge you ain't getting in, so that rules out about 90% of Kiwi males!
i live on vancouver island and i'm a surfer, this is my home and it's beautiful, but we get one- two days a week where there is enough swell to go out, it's certainly not bali
Might ask the real locals (first nations people) what they think about parking a big tour boat full of foreigners in their backyard ? I heard they dont want visitors for awhile, maybe forever ?
Chief said it’s cool, but taxes brah so he gets the 6’2 thruster. And chief like to draw clean line and surf solo so split kooks NOW! Before Chief Solo call Mokey.... Leave that 6’4” too kook bait..
Ready....$1.00 USD gets you $1.33 CDN.... Beer is 5%, 37 million people, 2nd largest land mass, NOBODY surfs...It's an empty wilderness except for Vancouver on West coast, East Coast has Halifax, pop.431K.... No Visa required to enter from the USA...
Love to see people profiting off of exploiting public resources and getting their egos stroked with the watch me attitude. Climb the mountain to see the world, not so the world can see you.
Nope, nothing to see here Stay away tourists We have grizzlies, wolves and various other things to keep you away from wanting to camp on our west coast. It always rains, weather is kak and surf is fickle. Water is cold as f*^k too.

@George Kafiridis about 9 degrees Celsius
It’s not that bad. Technology has solved those problems. Unless you’re from the tropics.

so sick ey!
as somone who lives on and surfs vancouver island, the waves are great but don't plan a trip for surfing cause good swell is rare
