West Vancouver

Hollyburn Sailing Club webcam back online

Posted on: July 7th, 2009 by admin No Comments

 

I've been using this camera for the past few months to check conditions at Hollyburn Sailing Club, which is located on the Western end of Ambleside beach.

Unfortunately the camera was offline for the past few weeks, but appears to be working again...

Check out the webcam's still image, and don't forget to check out the streaming video as well!

Image quality ain't so hot at the time of this posting due to the cloud cover, but it's usually pretty good.

Good stuff!

Vancouver Area Meet Up?

Posted on: June 15th, 2009 by admin 7 Comments

 

The paddle surf community is growing pretty quickly around here in Vancouver, so thought it might be good to start up a discussion on possible times and places for group paddles around the Lower Mainland.

We're planning on integrating a full on forum system to this site in the coming weeks, but for now post in the comments here with when and where you're available to meet up!

Cheers!

Flatwater Paddling around West Vancouver

Posted on: June 2nd, 2009 by Paddle Surf No Comments

 

Been out daily for the past couple months and found a number of great paddling areas here in West Vancouver.

Favorites include:

  • Stearman Cove: Usually put in at the beach access off Ross Crescent then paddle to Tiddley Cove/Pilot House Point, then over to Sandy Cove and back. If low tide, it's easier to put in off two small access points off Erwin Drive. They're rockier but a much shorter walk to the edge of the water.
  • Dundarave: Couple good paddles going either West up towards 29th and beyond, or east towards John Lawson Park.
  • Ambleside: Lots of activity here and a good place to catch freighter swell as the boats pass nearby.

Tons more exploring to do over the rest of the Summer, will update as we go!
