Where to Whitewater Kayak near Victoria

Mill Bay - Nice little Park'n'huck for locals or folks passing through the area during winter rain events. There are 3 rapids, first one being a small 15 ramping drop, second and third rapids being 40 foot slides. This run has the typical Vancouver Island rock, very janky and sharp, more water the better but be warned the first slide can develop a nasty hole at the bottom but you're usually going warp-speed when you hit it thought. There is no gauge, only visual so most boaters will stop by and have a peak a flows on their way to the more popular runs in the area. Have fun and don't forget to smile for the camera!

Tillicum Narrows - Tillicum Narrows is basically a 20m long wave train that works best with an RPM type boat (ie. long and slicey). At certain flows (around -4 knots) it has a wave that works for both side and front surfing. At flows greater than +/-1 knot it works for attainments and stern squirts. I'd rate it class 2, but watch out for submerged rocks especially at higher flows. It gets enough light for night sessions. You can get easy access to accurate tide forecasts for the next week here: http://www.bigwavedave.ca/Tides2/Gorge%20Tillicum.php. It's not skooks, but it's 1000x more fun than the gym. PS say hi to the seal that hangs out in the outflow if you see it, I think it likes kayakers.
