Qualicum – not just for the retired

So we get to Qualicum and Dean heard that you can rent these Stand-up Paddles from and ex-South African surfer dude at the beach. Here is a demonstration on calm waters(freezing cold though). Always something new to try but I gave it a pass, these are not tropical waters!

Then we dilly-dally back to buddy’s cottage to take in the view  from his serious treehouse. Here Jess is harnessed in and climbing, we are armed with Heinies, we climb one by one. When you get to the platform there is a gentle sway, I sit because standing just seems unintuitive. Next pic is the dizzying view from eagle eye height treehouse.

Isn’t that view ridiculous?
