llvis Freshly is an up-and-coming 

Canadian band from Victoria, BC. The 

band consists of two MCs, a guitarist, a 

drummer, and a DJ/singer. Their sound is 

a fusion of electronic and classic hip-hop 

elements, making them a unique and widely 

accessible act. Jesus Estevez (‘Doc Zoo’) 

produces the beats using a combination of 

synthesizers, live instrumentation, and the 

classic funk and soul samples quintessential 

to 90s hip-hop. The newest addition to 

SOUND CHECK 


the band, drummer Mike Cooper, is a 

karate master: his Bruce-Lee-level nunchuk 

skills are matched only by his superhuman 

drumming abilities and infectious energy. 

Guitar wizard and crowd surfing aficionado 

Phil Lyons (‘Phillionaire’) is a wildly 

entertaining performer also known for his 

ludicrously catchy riffsand face-melting 

solos. Doc Zoo and Dan Howse (‘Danimal 

House’), the two MCs, are all about their 

stage presence, captivating the crowd with 

lightning-fast flows and dynamic lyricism. In 

addition to spinning beats and scratching, 

Justin Doyle (DJ ‘Mt. Doyle’), has the 

voice of an angel, singing falsetto leads and 

backup vocals while holding it down on 

the turntables. In an industry where it has 

become increasingly difficult to be original, 

the boys have created something special 

with this project. Their sound can best be 

described as Beastie Boys meets Jurassic 5 

with some bass-heavy flavour in the mix. 

The boys released their third album, the 

’Certified Fresh’ EP, in the Spring of 

2018, and show no signs of slowing down. 

They’ve previously released two full-length 

albums, ‘What Chu Know About Illvis?’ 

(2015) and ‘Illennials’ (2016) a year apart, as 

well as a string of wildly entertaining music 

videos and collaborations with international 

producers. Those albums consecutively won 

them Best Urban / Electronic Recording 

for the respective singles and Group of The 

Year at the Vancouver Island Music Awards 

(VIMAs) for 2016/17. Their albums and 

numerous remixes have received local and 

international attention in the worldwide 

hip-hop, funk, and electronic scenes, 

establishing them as one of the most 

progressive, accessible, and fun acts in 

Canadian Hip-Hop. Illvis Freshly is “One 

of those bands you have to see live”. They 

have had the opportunity to bring their feelgood 

party vibes to a number of amazing 

festivals including Shambhala, Rifflandia, 

Astral Harvest, Electric Love, Fozzyfest, 

Boogaloo, Kamp Festival, High Times 

Cannabis Cup, Quadrapalooza, Victoria Ska 

and Reggae Festival, and the Tall Tree Music 

Festival (to name a few). They have played 

countless shows across the West Coast of 

Canada and have begun to branch out into 

international markets. They have had the 

honor of sharing the stage with some of 

their mentors such as Souls of Mischief, 

Ghostface Killah, Merkules, De La Soul, 

The Beatnuts, Stylust Beats, DubFX, and 

Grieves. A new addition to their live show 

is the formation of ‘IllvisFreshly LIVE’, a 

full-band show featuring bass guitar, keys, 

horns, and a second guitarist. The full liveband 

made its grand debut in the summer 

of 2018 and will be playing select shows 

across the West Coast of Canada. These 

boys are here to play dope music, eat pizza, 

and have a good time... and they are most 

definitely succeeding at all three.

Freshly playing live at this year’s Ukee Days

Karla Strickland 

Featured Artist 

Karla Strickland is the artist behind Kay Ceramics. She creates contemporary 

functional and sculptural ceramics, which reflect the natural elements of her 

Pacific coastal surroundings. Taking a wabi-sabi approach to her aesthetic, Kay 

Ceramics is a mixture of functional wheel work and hand-built sculpture and jewelry 

design. She teaches pottery full-time and can be found in her home studio right here on 

the West Coast. 

another type of clay touched the piece and 

now it is a part of the overall look and feel. 

It is all of those unique, almost unintentional, 

parts that I am most attracted to. A huge 

part of ceramics is of course breakages 

and fails. Things break…a lot. Equipment 

breaks, pieces don't always make it to the 

final stage; Wabi-sabi can teach us to accept, 

work through, and learn rather than become 

deterred from the process. 

Ukeedaze: What’s the best way for people to 

purchase your art or book a lesson? 

Ukeedaze: What brought you to the West 

Coast and how long have you been here? 

Karla: I came to Vancouver Island in 

2002 to work in forestry in the northern 

communities of Holberg and Winter 

Harbour. I became totally enamoured with 

the rugged beauty of the coast. In 2004, 

after visiting this area, I moved to Ucluelet 

and decided to stay here and start a new 

chapter in life. Ucluelet was just the right 

size and the area and small-town living was 

very appealing at the time. 

Ukeedaze: What got you into sculptural 

ceramics? 

Karla: I am currently working on my 

Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and 

Philosophy at VIU, for the last few years 

I have had a chance to take drawing and 

sculpture classes while in school. While I 

have been largely focused on functional 

ceramics, I have been inspired by the 

versatility of clay. There is a seemingly 

endless amount of applications you can 

use to create sculptures-form, glazing, and 

surface decoration techniques as well as 

a wide variety of clay open the door to a 

lifetime of creating. 

Ukeedaze: What inspires you? 

Karla: I am inspired by everyday living, 

wabi-sabi aesthetic, finding beauty in common 

objects and nature, and my family and 

community. 

Ukeedaze: What is wabi-sabi? 

Karla: Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy in 

which we embrace the world as imperfect, 

impermanent, and incomplete. Applying 

this view to aesthetics and ceramics is very 

natural and allows me to feel more connected 

to the pieces. It can be the soft drip 

of colour, a small wavy line, a spot where 

Karla: All classes are currently run through 

the Ucluelet Community Centre from 

September to June. Different classes are 

available: introduction courses to the 

wheel and hand-built ceramics, specialty 

classes in glaze application, clay and surface 

decorating, etc. You can find all class details 

and times in the Rec Guide. I am available 

every Saturday at the Tofino Market from 

10-2pm. I also attend several larger markets 

on the Island and Mainland including 

Refresh Market in Squamish and Out of 

Hand Market in Victoria. My wares can 

also be found at Merge Artisan Gallery, 

Two Trees Tofino, The Village Gallery, and 

Foggy Bean Coffee Company. •

Road o 2020 

Sean Foerster 

Age: 20 years old 

Current Residence: Ucluelet B.C., Canada. 

Years of surfing: 15 years. 

Sponsors: O’Neill, Nixon, FCS, Long Beach Surf Shop, Bravocados Cuisine, and hOMe Grown Living Foods 

The 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo mark 

a milestone for board sports with the inclusion of 

skateboarding and surfing disciplines to the games. 

Not only does this provide opportunities for Canadian 

skaters and surfers to get support, training, and facilities, 

but it also legitimizes the sports in the eyes of the general 

public. Skateboarding and surfing have lived happily 

under the radar for years, but have been used mercilessly in 

corporate advertising with the lion’s share of profits going 

to large corporations while athletes earn a fraction of that of 

athletes competing in more traditional sports. 

Their inclusion into the Olympics gives young athletes more 

opportunities to pursue and improve at their passions while 

also getting the privilege to represent their homeland in 

front of the entire world. In every Ukeedaze issue leading 

up to the games we will feature an athlete who is a favourite 

to represent Canada in either skateboarding or surfing. This 

issue’s athlete is Sean Foerster. 

Who is Sean Foerster? Born in Colorado to an American 

father and Canadian mother, Sean Foerster grew up in 

rural Costa Rica where he learned how to surf and honed 

his skills to become a three-time Costa Rican national 

surfing champion. Having Canadian lineage has enabled 

him to represent Canada in International competition since 

a young age. This year Sean made the decision to make 

the move to Ucluelet where he plans to reside for half the 

year in order to continue his training and further pursue 

his dream of being a professional surfer and representing 

Canada on the world stage. After an impressive performance 

at the Rip Curl Nationals and Trials events, Sean narrowly 

missed out in securing a spot on Team Canada's Olympic 

team; however, he has definitely made his mark with his 

high performance and quick approach to our Vancouver 

Island lineups. 

I was lucky enough to spend a great deal of time this 

summer getting to know Sean while we were working on an 

upcoming video project documenting his move to Canada. 

Despite the challenges of getting good surfing footage 

during the summer (whether it be lack of swell, crowded 

lineups, fog and poor visibility, busy work schedules, or 

unfavorable winds), Sean took it all in stride and we were 

able to document a great deal of high-level surfing along 

our beautiful West Coast. With his consistent air game, foot 

speed, fluidity, and technicality, Sean seems destined for big 

things in the surfing world. Coupled with his strong work 

ethic, training regimen, and dedication to his craft, there 

is no telling what heights he can achieve. One thing is for 

sure: in the future, nobody will be saying “Who is Sean 

Foerster?” 

Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming 

surf video starring Sean in partnership with Ukeedaze 

Media, West Barkley Media, and Tofino Surf Photography. 

Releasing this fall, it can be seen on Ukeedaze's YouTube 

Channel where we also host a bunch of other original West 

Coast content featuring local artists, athletes, musicians, 

events, and wildlife. 


Road o 2020 

Sean Foerster 

Ukeedaze: When did you start surfing? 

Sean: I first started surfing down in Costa Rica when I was about 

five years old. 

But Ucluelet is a small town, meaning everybody knows everyone 

which means they really take care of each other, so I have felt really 

fortunate to have met the people I have and they make me feel like 

part of the family. 

Ukeedaze: What made you decide to make the move over to Canada 

part time? 

Sean: I decided to move to Canada because I love it up here. All my 

trainings for Team Canada are here also, so living here permanently 

made things a lot easier. Also, for my surfing career to continue and 

to able to work with brands like O’Neill, it was a necessary move. 

Ukeedaze: What’s been the biggest challenge with coming to Canada? 

Sean: The biggest challenge of coming to Canada, besides the cold 

water, I would have to say has been leaving my family and friends. 

Ukeedaze: The thing you miss in Costa Rica the most is? 

Sean: The thing I miss most about Costa Rica is the tropical fruit. 

Being able to go in my back yard and pick Bananas, Papayas, 

Mangoes, etcetera is the best. But the berry picking has kept me 

busy enough! 

Ukeedaze: You're really into healthy eating and living, when did you 

get into fitness and nutrition? 

Sean: I feel like my whole life I've been pretty aware about being 

healthy and eating the right things. It really is the most precious 

knowledge you can have. The system creates this illusion of what 

we should be putting into our bodies and its so obscene what they 

make us think is healthy eating. You are what you put into your 

bodies, and that’s the reality of it. 

Ukeedaze: You've spent a lot of time training in Tofino with Surf 

Canada coaches: Shannon and Albie, how has this experience helped 

you? 

Sean: Working with Shannon and Albie has been a dream come 

true. The experience has been incredible and definitely helped my 

surfing reach the next level. Just to have the opportunity to train 

with coaches like them makes me feel really blessed. 

Photo: Keenan Bush 

next travels will be Indonesia for a little over a month, then back 

to Central America for the Winter. I will be making a couple trips 

up to Nicaragua and El Salvador for training and hopefully make it 

up to the North Shore sometime in January. After that, back up to 

Canada for the rest of the year. 

Ukeedaze: What else are you passionate about aside from surfing? 

Sean: I am passionate about being the best version of myself 

possible, and to help as many other people along the way. Besides 

that, cooking plant-based meals is one of my favorite things in the 

world. 

Ukeedaze: After spending the last five months in Canada what's 

next on your itinerary? 

Sean: These past five months have definitely been life changing. My 

Ukeedaze: Shout Outs? 

Sean: Big Shout out to Ukeedaze for everything they have done for 

me and everyone else involved! •

We spent the majority of June and 

July with Sean Foerster shooting 

before and after work several times 

a week. The footage will be featured in an 

upcoming video part in partnership with 

Tofino Surf Photography and West Barkley 

Media releasing this Fall. 

Here are some of the video clips and images 

that didn't make it into the final cut. Keep an 

eye out for the video which will be posted on 

the Ukeedaze YouTube page. Make sure to 

subscribe to our channel so you Don't miss 

out on any of regularly updated content. 



Coming soon 

Sean Foerster documentary 

in partnership with 

West Barkley Media 

and 

Tofino Surf Photography 


With the arrival of Fall comes the 

annual salmon spawn. These 

amazing fish go through hell and 

high water to make it back to the creeks 

where they were born. 

Here is some footage taken this year of 

salmon trying to make it up a man-made 

salmon ladder on Vancouver Island's 

west coast. 

The west coast of Vancouver island is 

gorgeous and there is no better way 

to see it than by air. That's why this 

summer Ukeedaze staff photographer Paul 

Freimuth purchased a drone and became a 

licensed pilot. 

This has allowed us to get different 

perspectives of the landscape that surrounds 

us. Here is a short video of the best drone 

footage we were able to capture this 

summer in the Tofino - Ucluelet region.
