The Season First episode is now out, watch it here...

A new project by our local film maker Bryan Smith, The Season is 22 episodes of HD video delivered via the internet for free. It will run for 4 months and then it is over. “Our goal is to develop a widespread audience and bring strong story telling back to adventure media. The Season will run its course and that will be it. We are already working on another web TV series that will follow after this show completes. Don’t expect the Season to stick around, but Fitz and I are not going anywhere. There will be lots more to come.”
The project follow 5 individuals for a season. The sports represented are snowboarding, bouldering, mountain biking, whitewater and sea kayaking. Shot entirely in HD, all 22 episodes are going to be available for free via iTunes. Brian Smith is working the cameras hard and came up with some amazing footage, next generation movie… images stolen from suspended cable and remote controlled cameras on tracks, the quality is a beauty and the angles priceless, this is how you would follow people if you were a bird.

Sign up for an exciting day dedicated to Marine Weather in relation to sea
kayaking around the Canadian West Coast, with Vancouver Island as a focus.
Our speaker, Hamish Murray is a Professional Marine Weather Forecaster for
Environment Canada and a kayaker as well. He teaches meteorology courses
across the country.
The day will be divided in two parts:
-Morning Session: 9 to 12am
A basic introduction to weather, covering
vocabulary, the forecast information we are
looking for, the relevant things to note
down. The last hour will be open for
questions to keep things interactive and
personal.
-Afternoon Session: 1 to 4pm
We will cover more advanced weather
related subjects such as Weather systems
and fronts, weather data maps, long range
forecasting… and the last hour will be left
open for questions.

Weather forecasting is one of the most elusive skills sea kayakers have to
develop and this is a chance to talk and ask questions to a Forecaster from
Environment Canada.
Whether you are starting out or looking for Advanced tips, I think you will get
something out of the day…
