I had such an amazing time working with BestCoast. They were able to work with where I’m at and enhance the skills I already have to a much higher level, while introducing new ones effectively. They first and foremost made it fun so it didn’t feel like learning.Lee focused more on my achievements while helping me to work on my challenges. He was super patient and thorough. After my course I felt excited and passionate with my love for this sport reignited.The absolute best experience I have ever had learning from professionals in the field.If you have the opportunity to learn with Best Coast I highly recommend it! Thoroughly enjoyed everyday on the water with them. Thank you again guys!

We had a great day with Asger at Surge Narrows. He provided the perfect balance of theory and on-water skills and checked in frequently to ensure that what we were doing was meeting our objectives. By the end of the day, our comfort level and knowledge needed for paddling in currents increased exponentially. Most importantly, we had a lot of fun and stayed safe! I highly recommend Asger as an instructor and guide.

BestCoast Outfitters is the place to go in Victoria for all your kayaking needs. Very knowledgeable and friendly folks that can get you setup with equipment, training courses, or just to chat about getting out on the water!

Asger provided great advice, was extremely helpful for us in choosing 2 kayaks, and mounting them on our car. Thank you!

I always try to shop not in huge sports stores, but in specialized small stores. Where you can get professional advice and have a friendly chat with a consultant. Where you will be remembered by name and asked how you're doing. And it's absolutely about this store. You can see that the guys understand kayaks and love their job. I bought the Dagger Stratos 14.5L and all the necessary equipment here, and also took courses Canada Paddle Level 1.

I was able to pick up some Level 6 guide shorts. A unique paddling item ( not many shops carry this specialty product) - especially for summer paddling. Thanks for bringing in this kind of specialty paddling gear!!

Super helpful and friendly. I needed to replace a part on my Kayak and even though BestCoast Outfitters did not carry the part, they were able to source it for me and have it shipped to my house.

Owner/Lee was a guide on a Vancouver Island kayak trip I took. His extensive kayaking knowledge and experience is unmatched to anyone I've met. After our trip I visited his store. He uses his experience and expertise to stock Best Coast Outfitters with high-quality gear that is reasonably priced, and will hold up to local conditions.

I thought I was out of luck finding a spray skirt to fit my kayak, but BestCoast had just what I needed and the staff were super helpful. Great products, great service. And the price was reasonable too!
