Itinerary
Week 1
Discovery Islands; Surge Narrows & the Okisollo Wave
5 Days of spring tide fun, excitement and EDUCATION!
• Surge Narrows Tidal Rapids :
The Discovery Lodge is a 10 minute sea kayak paddle from Surge Narrows Tidal Rapids. Spend 2 days in this world-class training ground for new-comers to this sport and a great playground for the advanced paddler.
• The Okisollo Wave -- 2 days of delight
At maximum flood on a big tide, the first wave has a face of approximately 3 meters. While it is an awe--inspiring, even intimidating, experience for all but the best kayakers, it is breath-taking to see.
The main wave (the Okisollo Wave) is a feature about 50 feet (16 meters) wide. It is formed when water pours over a shelf at ever increasing speeds, at ever increasing depths. Current speeds range from 0 (low slack) to 13 knots at max flood on a big spring tide.
NB. To do this wave at peak flood you need to be skilled in the Eskimo Roll!
