Tofino

So after the visit the day before we had an early start for the drive to Tofino. It is on the other side of the island about 2-3 hours away. I say 2-3 because we spent an hour driving in the wrong direction.
The drive was super cool all through these mountains and lakes. We kept passing creeks where the water was so blue it looked like mouth wash, and it was clear as you like. If not clearer.
We pulled up in Tofino about mid day, the skatepark was easy as anything to find. It had only been opened the day before so we thought it would be packed, but as with most Canadian parks it was pretty empty. The concrete was brand new, not a mark on it, and i can officially say the we were the first bmx riders to use it. We claimed it. It's ours now. The park was pretty good, although the few skaters there did give us some attitude which was a bit gay. They thought we were going to chip the concrete and ovalise the coping. Dicks.

So after we got gnarly there for a couple of hours we headed back towards a place called long beach. It is a surfers beach all made up of volcanic islands, realy cool with old trees all over the place. It pretty much kicked arse.

We walked all round a couple of the islands and took loads of pics, played in rock pools and picked up some star fish. Half way round one of these islands where we had to clamber on the rocks it started raining, but seeing as we were half way round it made sense to just keep going. however the rain got worse and the rocks got more craggy, and more slippery. I was alright for a bit then i just spent a lot of time shitting myself that i was going to slip and either fall and break my camera, fall and smash my head on a rock, or fall in to the sea, get dashed on the rocks, break my camera and drown. Neither of these happened although we did get very wet indeed. It was worth it though because that place really did kick arse.
