3 Days, 3 Waves, One Unforgettable British Columbia Surf Trip
There’s a certain kind of magic to surfing in British Columbia. Maybe it’s the contrast of raw coastline against clean lines, freezing water paired with warm camaraderie. Or maybe it’s the sheer unpredictability of the Pacific Northwest conditions. Either way, when a decent window opens, you go. Recently, I packed the essentials and jumped on […]


There’s a certain kind of magic to surfing in British Columbia. Maybe it’s the contrast of raw coastline against clean lines, freezing water paired with warm camaraderie. Or maybe it’s the sheer unpredictability of the Pacific Northwest conditions. Either way, when a decent window opens, you go. Recently, I packed the essentials and jumped on a boat with Pete Devries, Reed Platenius, and Curtis Parker to explore the outer edges of Vancouver Island’s coastline. What followed was three days of perfect weather, fun surf, and the kind of moments that remind you why you chase waves in Canada in the first place.
The trip kicked off with what can only be described as Canada’s most infamous slab — a wave that breaks over a shallow, dry reef. Pete and Reed made the most of it, threading tight pockets, while Curtis was more selective and ended up snagging the wave of the day. It was the kind of session you dream about after watching storm after storm roll through all winter.
The next morning started with glass. That rare, still moment when everything goes quiet, except for the ocean. Wave after wave lined up down the point, peeling with just enough punch to keep everyone frothing. Toward the end of the session, a killer whale surfaced near the lineup. No urgency — just a slow, steady cruise, like it was watching us from a distance. Our final day took us to a remote headland we’d been hopping for, a wave that rarely gets good, and even more rarely works with no one around. That morning, it did both. The wave itself looked like a colder, shorter version of J-Bay: fast and down-the-line, with the perfect pace for carving turns and linking sections. We surfed it alone under blue skies, grateful for the solitude and the kind of surf you usually need a plane ticket to find.
Trips like this don’t come around often. They take planning, luck, and a willingness to get uncomfortable. But when it all comes together, it’s pure gold. Having boat access — thanks to Nootka Wilderness Lodge — opened the door to a stretch of coastline few ever see, and even fewer get to surf. These are the kinds of adventures that define surf culture on Vancouver Island. Quiet, wild, and deeply rewarding. No crowds. Just waves, friends, and a deep appreciation for the place we call home.

McManus Finishes Eighth for First Team All-American Honors in Steeplechase
Story Links EUGENE, Ore. — Rob McManus ended a memorable year for the Montana State track and field program on Friday night, finishing eighth in the national final of the 3,000 meter steeplechase to earn First Team All-American honors at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon.

EUGENE, Ore. — Rob McManus ended a memorable year for the Montana State track and field program on Friday night, finishing eighth in the national final of the 3,000 meter steeplechase to earn First Team All-American honors at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
McManus, a senior from Cashmere, Washington, clocked a lifetime best 8:25.83 to become Montana State’s fourth different First Team All-American in the event.
On a cool, cloudy evening at Hayward Field, the veteran navigated his way through a talent-stacked field in what ended up being one of the fastest championship NCAA steeple races ever.
BYU’s James Corrigan, who represented Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, took the title in 8:16.41, with Louisville’s Geoffery Kirwa in second with a time of 8:17.12.
McManus’ personal-best time of 8:25.83 not only improves his own No. 2 all-time mark in program history, but was also the 11th-fastest race run by an American this year and the 88th-fastest race run by an American ever.
“It definitely means a lot,” McManus said. “Going into this race, Coach and I definitely thought it might be pretty quick and that I might need to run a PR to do well. I’m just happy to go out and do that. It’s my first final, and to get First Team All-American means a lot because it’s something I’ve been working towards for a while.”
Friday’s eighth-place finish marks the fourth All-American honor of McManus’ career, putting him second all-time on the track in school history behind only the six earned by Duncan Hamilton (2019-23).
“It was a great race by Rob,” Weese said. “The field was very strong this year, so he was up against some great competitors across the board. The level of the NCAA steeple has increased over the last few years, which is good. Rob looked good during the race, and raced well. He positioned himself well throughout the race and got in there for First Team All-American honors, so it was overall a great day.”
McManus now joins former teammates Hamilton and Levi Taylor (2020-24) as Bobcats that earned All-American honors in the steeplechase in three straight seasons.
“It means a lot to carry on that legacy,” McManus said. “Those guys that came before me—Levi Taylor, Duncan Hamilton—they really set the standard and showed me how to compete and what it’s like to compete in the steeplechase at the national level, and I owe a lot of my success and my drive to them.”
McManus earned Second Team All-American honors in the steeplechase in both 2024, when he took 13th and 2023, when he took 15th. This past March, he also earned Second Team All-American honors in the indoor mile, finishing 15th.
“It’s pretty special going three-for-three so far on his qualifications for the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He has put together an incredible career so far and he still has another year to go, but it means a lot for him to keep that legacy going that Duncan, Levi, and Owen Smith got really solidified over the last few years. We’re looking forward to another year from him.”
Montana State has now earned ten steeplechase All-American honors since 2021, with four First Team accolades in that span.
Friday night in Eugene marked the end of an unforgettable year for McManus that included All-Big Sky and All-Region honors in cross country and qualifying for the NCAA Indoor Championships in the mile, where he finished 15th for Second Team All-American honors. Outdoors, McManus won his second straight Big Sky title in the steeplechase before clocking the fourth-fastest time at the NCAA West Regional and making it through the national semifinal despite a fall on the last water barrier. It all came to a head Friday night with a PR and First Team All-American honors in his signature event.
“It’s definitely one of the better all-time years by a distance runner in Montana State history,” Weese said.

About Hayward Field
Hayward Field, which was built in 1919, is no stranger to top-tier track and field events, including the Diamond League and the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.
The venue is named after Bill Hayward, who ran the University of Oregon track and field program from 1904 to 1947. Though it originally was intended for Ducks football, many additions and renovations over the century have helped it become a premier destination.
In September 2023, the venue became the first facility outside of Zurich or Brussels to host the two-day season-ending Wanda Diamond League Final, where the year’s 32 overall champions were crowned.

Florida, led by legendary head coach Mike Holloway, secured the men’s title in 2024, giving the Gators three consecutive outdoor men’s titles. Florida became the first team to three-peat since Texas A&M (2009-2011).
What Schools Have Won The Most Titles At The NCAA Division I Outdoor Track And Field Championships?
The NCAA Division I Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships first was held in 1921.
USC owns the most men’s titles with 25, while Arkansas is the only other program with 10 or more (10).

Friday morning at Thomas Brooks Park in Cary, North Carolina, was marked by fast action and fierce competition among teams battling to advance to the 10U Futures Invitational Semifinals. Wrapping up pool play with an 8-game slate saw teams grinding till the last out, eager to compete in bracket play tomorrow. Catch up on all the action from Friday’s games at the 10U Futures Invitational.
Knights Knation 13, Top Tier 2
Totaling an impressive 14-hit performance, Knights Knation ran away early on with a seven-run first inning. Solidifying their performance with some stellar pitching, starter Jaxon Leist worked four scoreless innings, surrendering only one hit while punching out five. The offense was stacked all around with five different players each having multi-hit games, led by Hunter Hamrick going 3-for-3 with two extra-base hits, including a two-RBI triple. Roberto Gutierrez led the team in RBIs with three, leading Knights Knation to an impressive win and a spot in the semifinals.
Original Florida Pokers of Parkland 10, ZT Prospects National 9
In what ultimately felt like the game of the day at Thomas Brooks Park, the Original Florida Pokers of Parkland worked a seven-run third inning, taking the momentum in loud fashion. With two outs in the top of the fourth, the Pokers stole home in a tied ball game, sending Jonathan Pierre home, where he was called safe to take the lead. Pierre also would have a big day at the plate, recording two triples as well as scoring the game-winning run. Tied for the team lead in RBIs, Cannon Allen went 2-for-3, picking up two stolen bases; also pitching two shutout innings, allowing no hits to secure the Pokers the win and a spot in the semifinals.
Scottsdale Dirtbags 5, Vault Boys National 2
In a game that needed extra innings to find a winner, the Scottsdale Dirtbags scratched across three runs during the top of the seventh, securing a win. Getting a great outing from their starting pitcher Noah Kirk, who worked five innings of two-run baseball with three strikeouts, handed the ball off to Ahdan Ontiveros. Pitching the rest of the game for the Dirtbags, Ontiveros went two innings of no-hit and no-run baseball that secured the Dirtbags the win. Driving in two of the three runs in the seventh, Mathias Solis hammered a bases-clearing triple down the left field line, his second hit of the game. Everett Van Bogaert drove home the final run of the game with an RBI groundout, and a scoreless frame from Ontiveros closed out the 5-2 win, securing the Dirtbags a semifinals berth.
TBT Ballers SoCal 10, West Raleigh 2
With a complete game performance from their starting pitcher, TBT Ballers SoCal executed when it mattered, picking up a 10-2 win. Leading the team in RBIs, Mattix Edwards went 1-for-4, scoring two runs from his first-inning triple to get things started. Luke Erickson was dominant on the mound, going a complete game of two-run ball for TBT Ballers SoCal. Multi-hit games from Jayden Agee and Mason Giffis helped lead the team to a 10-run performance on 10 total hits from the offense. With the win today, the TBT Ballers SoCal secured their spot in the semifinals.
Memphis Tigers 12, Perfect Performance Outlaws 5
After being outhit 11 to six, the Memphis Tigers were able to put up 12 runs and outlast the Perfect Performance Outlaws. Titus Watson led the Tigers with a big day at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two stolen bases. The Perfect Performance Outlaws fought hard to stay in the game, led by Max Krevit’s 2-for-3 day at the plate, picking up two RBIs. Ultimately, the Tigers bullpen got the job done with a combined two innings of work from Grayson Stephney and Beckham Natola; the bullpen only gave up one run and maintained the lead.
DG29 Baseball Academy 6, New Level National 0
Carried by a 5.2 inning performance from starter Samir Galindo, DG29 Baseball Academy was able to shut out New Level National. Galdino, while only giving up one hit on the day, was also able to rack up five strikeouts in his impressive performance. Going 2-for-3 at the plate and picking up an RBI triple, Byron O. found his groove at the plate as one of two players picking up two hits today. Being able to spread out production was critical as five of the six runs scored were driven in by five different players, securing the 6-0 victory for DG29 Baseball Academy.
Tennessee Elite 8, Ghost National 4
Outscoring Ghost National 7-0 in the first two innings of the game, Tennessee Elite coasted their way to an 8-4 win. Logan A. picked up the final two RBIs of the first inning, hitting an inside-the-park home run that gave them an early 4-0 lead. Keeping the lead on the mound was starter Aiden F., going 3.2 innings, giving up one hit and one earned run with a pair of strikeouts. Finishing the game for Tennessee Elite, going 2.1 innings, Hudson Y. recorded five of his seven outs with strikeouts. That didn’t stop Ghost National from fighting back. Putting up a three-run fifth inning led by Robbie Cerciello’s two-RBI single. Tennessee Elite held strong and closed out the game with a flyout to right field.
Stacked Baseball 13, Jersey Storm 3
A great day from the offense was met by a great day from the pitching staff for Stacked Baseball, picking up a 13-3 win. Getting four innings of work from Ollie Arvesen, only giving up one earned run, the bullpen was phenomenal as well. With two innings in relief from Noa de la Torre and Shun Shiraiwa giving up two runs, the bats kept the game out of reach for Jersey Storm. The offense was led by Lennox Cort and Jack Williams, both recording multi-hit and multi-RBI games. Scoring 10 of their 13 runs in the fifth and sixth, put the game out of reach.
