Now this is a story that's out of this world hahaha!
Queen of the Peak Women's Surf Championships 2013
The third annual Queen of the Peak women's surf championship saw both blustery and sunny skies (and waves!) Cox Bay Beach October 9 & 10, 2013. Leah Oke of Port Renfrew, Vancouver Island took first place in the longboard competition while Tofino's own Catherine Bruhwiler claimed victory and the Queen of the Peak title on her shortboard! Over 20 girls ages 16 and under took to the waves in the Princess of the Peak contest, where ten year old Matea Olin of Tofino took the crown with an impressive performance - rememeber her name.
Nanaimo Squash Club
When the wonderful people at Island Daily Deals offered up an opportunity to pick up a 5 punch pass at the Nanaimo Squash Club for an unreal price I took advantage.
I had never tried squash, but after reading about how it's the world's healthiest sport, I was looking forward to trying it out and getting a great workout.
There are 4 courts (2 with glass backed viewing galleries) which for non-members you need to book between 4pm-9pm Monday to Friday. The drop in rate is $10 which includes equipment if you need it. Depending on whether you are a beginner or more experienced, there are different balls you will want to use.
I simply e-mail to book a court and have a time block of 45 minutes. For a high intensity, quick game like squash - 45 minutes is the perfect amount of time to get a serious sweat going.
As a member you have full access to the bar and lounge area, fitness area and sauna.
