I love surfing. I love kayaking. And I love sailing. So, whenever the opportunity arises to combine the three — whether in my real-life adventures or vicariously through awesome videos like this — I can’t help but get all fired up.

This “project” (I guess that’s what we’re calling badass adventures now), called Sail 2 Surf, follows a group of paddlers as they cruise the gorgeous island chains of Washington, US and British Columbia, Canada in search of waves and adventure. Lucky bastards. Here’s the scoop:

In June 2014, a team of kayakers stepped aboard 34-foot trimaran, Lung-Ta, cast off from Orcas Island, WA and set off on the Sail 2 Surf project — a sailing and kayaking expedition with a focus on kayak surfing, adventure, and minimal-impact exploration.

If this doesn’t get you ready for spring paddling season (fast approaching), then I don’t know what will. Enjoy your daydream.
