Help Save Skook!!!!
I got this e-mail today from wave sport team manager Brian Jennings.
For those of you that have been to skook in BC you won't forget the beautiful forest you have to walk thorugh to get to the wave. Please send an e-mail off to the logging company that want to destroy this epic forest that surrounds one of the worlds most epic tidal waves.

The village of Egmont, BC, is asking for the help of all kayakers who have ridden (or aspire to ride) the waves of the Skookumchuck Rapids. We have learned that a logging company has acquired the logging license in this area. The logging plans involve three huge clear cuts on the local watershed with one that extends right to the Skookumchuck Trail within the Provincial Park. Also, there is a planned cutblock that would mow down the trees along Egmont Road from Highway 101 to North Lake; a huge cutblock off of Maple Road; and another cutblock on the watershed at the north end of Ruby Lake. As well, the company plans to log Sechelt Nation Reserve lands just inside the Sechelt Inlet just past the rapids.
