Gabriola Passage is one location, accessible from the Gray Road launch on Gabriola Island.  If you have access to the BCMT map, you should be able to find this easily.  You need a good tidal change to fire that up.  No consequences, really, if you miss an eddy turn.

Also, the gap between Mudge Island and Vancouver Island – accessible from the Cedar boat ramp, also easily found on the BCMT map.  Again, a good tidal change will give you some nice eddy lines and waves to play in. Consequences also fine.

Both locations have camping options nearby.
