Thanks for the cool spot guide! I have seen so many shots of Pete Devries and Raph Bruhwiler surfing crazy waves all over the west coast. Nice to see a little guide! Canada looks to have amazing waves!

[...] Best Surf Locations in Canada – This post is the closest thing I wrote that almost went viral. It continues to get quite a few readers. It’s a great example of Canadian’s tolerance to cold water, and love for a sport. [...]

Feeling a little nippish cold, I did a search for “surfing in Canada” and came upon your site.

Thanks for the dash of warmth!

@Cynthia – Thanks for reading. It’s always tough to write about great spots in locations that I’ve never personally lived in. Happy to hear I didn’t screw this one up. lol. Thanks for the links too. I highly recommend getting out there and givin’ it a go. Just make sure you have some hot coffee or tea waiting for you when you get out. Surfing could make John Wayne dance like a schoolboy, it’s a unique experience everyone deserves trying. Thanks again for stoppin’ by!

Hi Corbin,

I work for Nova Scotia Tourism. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing some great Nova Scotian spots with your community. I’m not a surfer but I live near Lawrencetown and I love to go out and watch them. I know…not a spectators sport right!

Love watching these guys. http://www.hurricanesurf.com/surfdonkey/ The girls are awesome as well. http://www.onelifesurf.com/ I meant them at an event recently. Maybe one day I’ll work up the nerve for a lesson!

Cheers!

Cynthia

[...] Learn to Surf in Canada | Cold water surfing Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 at 7:59 am A lot of times in the past and even now I'll forgo the best waves just because there are too many people. I used to get worried about hurting other people whenever a big set would come in and I wasn't able to duck my way out of trouble, but these days it's more a case of having to watch out for the antics of the inept and the agressive. Which is why surfing in colder waters is fantastic- there just aren't those crowds! My local beach is Zurriola- take a look at this- yeech! So yeah, I'm all for cold-water surfing and Canada sounds like a lovely place to so it- read about the best locations here. [...]
