The Hurricane Riders are a family of Long Boat paddlers who are committed to representing Ocean Kayaking in a safe and exciting manner. THR are experience paddlers with the common goal; to support and challenge other team members to increase their ability to safely paddle in our diverse and demanding west coast. We paddle in rough water, tidal currents, wind and surf.
THR is dedicated to testing gear and boats in demanding conditions and real life situations. Our product testing offers an unbiased report on commonly used ocean kayaks and equipment. We test what we use, and use what we test.
As working professionals in the Paddle Sport Industry we are certified with SKGABC and Paddle Canada. We teach, guide, manage & run rental and retail facilities in beautiful Deep Cove British Columbia.
The idea of The Hurricane Riders was conceived in Vancouver in 2007. This group was formed out of our love for the sport, culture and paddling community.
The purpose of The Hurricane Riders and this website is to contribute to the development of our growing sport. We produce short films, which you can currently view on YouTube, test products and are working on an exciting photo gallery.
We hope to have the site up soon…
This is our first video ever... the quality and editing is pretty poor, but it is our first, and we shot it with a point and shoot camera.
This is our second video. Enjoy...
This is a fun short video from our demo trip with Delta Kayaks. Thanks again Mark!
