The holidays are a great time to kick-back, relax, and cozy up by a fire with a drink in hand and belly full of food. Where you choose to do that, and what you choose to do with the other 12 waking hours of the day are completely up to you.

Over the recent Christmas break we were hard at work, along with the first Westerly Goods. We decided that there was no better place to put these to the test than the rugged West Coast of BC. The car was packed, surfboards strapped to the roof, and thoughts of the open road and wilderness ran through our heads as we started our journey. Destination: Tofino, along with everything else we find in between.

Layers of islands, weaving through the Georgia Straight.

No better way to cap off a day, and kick-off the new year.
