"After 6 days of surf, good weather, amazing food, boat trips, beach walking, saunas, web browsing (some work), wave exploration, wave finding, fickle waves!!, bear sightings, bald eagle watching, gun shooting, beer drinking, poker playing, great hospitality, wine drinking, and more amazing food, what a great week.
A place like this leaves you wanting more!
Thank you for everything.

Clay + Silvi, What a great trip! You made me feel like I was visiting friends instead of being just a client. I felt right at home. Thanks for the hospitality.

 - Jeff Gill, Santa Barbara, Cal. Sep 2007



"Hi Clay and Silvi! I wanted to thank you again for a most enjoyable surfing experience. As a rookie to both surfing and the great outdoors, I felt a little nervous and unsure of what to expect during the trip, yet it turned out to be one of the best times I've ever had! The people were friendly, helpful and fun; the location was breathtaking; learning to surf was sooo cool; the food was UNBELIEVABLE, yum... Even the boat ride was a blast! It was a most unique adventure, thanks!" 

 - Nicole Lindback



"Aloha Tatchu gang….. What a great trip and group it`s been. If I`m not on Kauai or in Nelson I wanna be hanging on Nootka Isl with Clay, Silvi, Sarah and Jan. Thanks for everything."

When Danny described your place way back in Feb, I never imagined really what we would discover these past 10 days. "Absolutely blown away" ...by the food, the fluffy down bed, the hospitality, the ocean, the rides in the truck, finding magical mushrooms and walks out to sea....thankyou, thankyou, thankyou."

 - Lara & Danny. Vancouver. Oct 08

"An amazing place,

who make the trip

worthwhile."

The Team - Thanks all of your team, it was absolutely perfect! Silvi - Your meals were sooo great! Thank You! It was more than a dream! A wonderful experience. I will remember these days forever! That was real life! Thank you to the whole Tatchu Team! It was FUN!!"

"That was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. The Brooks Peninsula is unbelievable! I'll be back with some of my clients for another exploration trip very soon." 

 - Paul Jackson



"Clay & Silvi, thanks for such a great time. The waves didn't pan out but I couldn't have asked for a better time chilling with the boys. You guys definitely have it figured out up here."

 - Andrew Paine, Sitka Surfboards, 2008



"Thanks for the trip and making me feel like a friend (who is trying to learn to surf in middle age) You have an amazing place out here."

 - Darryl Nakahura, Somerset Bend, Or. '08.



“Only nine months and I am back at Tatchu ! I must say that it is the best. Clay and Silvi provide the best experience ever. The left is a perfect wave. I will return to ride more barrels."

 - Tanner Beckett, Santacruz California



“"There really isn't anything better than surfing and windsurfing with a few buddies in your own back yard. Ok, maybe one thing...having the recipe to Sylvie's supreme muesli. But, I guess a few things must remain a mystery."

  - Alex Jowett, Sept 2003


"Thank you for the epicurian delights, the insane hikes through the bush, the bad-ass boat rides and the inspiration to be a better cook! We will miss the peaceful atmosphere and the incessant sun. Thanks for making us feel so at home. We hope to see you again next year! Note to self - bring more sunscreen!"

  - Pete & Eileen Fingerhut, Cal. Sep 2008
