As things in the south become more tense and condensed with people and politics, I have been more and more inclined to escape to the north where the vibe is so completely different. I do love the south very much however I do end up needing breaks from it. Up here, it’s possible to watch [...]

I can’t think of a better way to remember this musical legend then by featuring a video our orca friends; Keiko and the southern resident killer whales. From the movie Free Willy, this song was written by Michael and is a story of Keiko’s journey to freedom. Ironically both stars in this video are in [...]

I believe that now, more then ever, we need to embed our minds into what makes us happy. Because should we decide to submit to paranoia, confusion and fear, we will truly manifest a global nightmare. Keep your minds empty and clean, do what you must to remain free. Kiteboarding is a good exercise in [...]

This is a short video composed of footage shot just following the spill near Robson Bight and Johnstone Strait area in 2007. The orcas seen in this video were also seen swimming through the diesel slick following the spill. I thought it was appropriate to exhibit them in a video format. This is a short [...]
