The fall guides exchange was a huge success. Over 50 guides spent the weekend camped at beautiful Bella Pacifica campground. Camping directly on MacKenzie Beach, allowed easy access to the open coast. Introductory surf courses ran infront of 'home-base', and others paddled around the headland to surf on Chesterman. Thank you to everyone who came and made this event a success. See you in the spring!!!
