British Columbia Trip 2019

in SkateHive3 years ago

Been awhile since I have posted on here and frankly my initial visit seemed short!
There's still a lot of content to put on the blog from my youtube channel that showcases some of the longboarding and shenanigans that we get up to.

My most recent edit is old footie from 2019 when travel was still on the menu. This was also my first time meeting @howweroll legend Daryl and boy was that beard even more glorious in person.
Enjoy little bits of Giants Head Freeride 2019 and more that we explored! Going to get the blog caught up, and hopefully more to come when we can all skate together again.

This trip all started with my girlfriend and I leaving Ontario on a plane to Kelowna, BC in beautiful Canada! We both had not travelled with no set itinerary or roadmap before and the only thing we knew was that I had registered to join the Giants Head Freeride. This annual event in Summerland, BC was an absolute blast and I feel like those 3 days of riding a mountain for the first time really leveled up my riding. I grew up in Manitoba for perspective so this trip out West was long overdue.

We met up with our friend and his partner from Vancouver in the Okanagan and they were our travel buddies. After finishing up at the freeride event and exploring a lot of the local terrain we carried back towards their home in North Van. Stayed with them for a day and saw a few sights. End goal was to finally visit my grandparents on the island after not seeing them in so long! Felt like we just scratched the surface of what there was to see out in beautiful British Columbia and we are already planning our next trip back. Skate safe and safe travels! ...whenever that's happening again 😷

Skate,beer, nature, friends, what more can one ask for?

Beautiful edit buddy!

Appreciate the kind words! Hope you've all been keeping well.

And we can ask to do it all again haha 🤔

Looks like a really good time! I absolutely love BC. I went to Whistler awhile ago on a snowboard trip and I fell in love with that place.

I love hearing these stories of meeting up with HIVE friends in real life!! So cool man

Oh man, just can't wait to go back. I still need to see the Atlantic at some point too, but man is BC great. Thanks! He is the reason I am here 😂

I grew up near the Atlantic and I used to spend my summers with my aunt on the ocean. It’s cool, it’s definitely quite a different vibe; at least the parts ive been to. In my travels though I’ve always found my self partial to the west side though :) but maybe just cause it’s different to me!
