Canadian Surfing -- Tofino, British Columbia
Little do most people know, Canada has a thriving surf scene. In the frigid Pacific waters on the country's west coast, the small community of Tofino's surf culture thrives year round.
While we Canadians are known to love the outdoors, even I was intrigued to learn more about this town's cold water surfing pastime. To better understand the local surf culture, I spoke with a number of local surfers.
Tofino is located on the coastline that also happens to be a protected rainforest. Yes, a rainforest in Canada. It doesn't snow in this part of Canada, contrary to the international stereotype of the whole country as the Great White North... Instead, on this mild Pacific coastline, it rains. And rains. And rains... Yearly rainfall in Tofino is around 130 inches. But through it all, rain or shine, clad in warm wetsuits, locals love to surf!

These are the highlights of our day trip to the other side of the Island. Such beautiful scenery throughout the day.
The standout moments for me were the ones that we spent on the beach. I will not soon forget the sound of the ocean. What a good day!

Vancouver Island 2017 (Pt. 14) - Pacific Rim National Park - Long Beach, BC, Canada
September 22, 2017 - At long last, I have finally made it to the Pacific Ocean on Canadian Soil! Even though Canada has hundreds of miles of Pacific coastline, accessing the open ocean in this country is actually pretty difficult - the cities of Ucluelet, Tofino, and nearby Pacific Rim Natural Park are about the easiest way to accomplish this.
Long Beach is the longest stretch of open beach on Vancouver Island - as such, it's a pretty popular place for beach-goers and surfers, and I can see why, even now on the first day of fall.
Aussie Surfer Instructor - Tofino, British Columbia
For any Canadian surfer who really enjoys catching waves and the chilled out vibe that goes along with the surf culture, then a trip to Tofino, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, is the ultimate pilgrimage in Canadian surfing! It's the spot to surf in Canada, and as the sport continues to grow in popularity around the world Tofino is showing up more and more on international surfer's radars. And no wonder, surrounded by temperate rainforests, sandy beaches and the quintessential chilled out little surf town Tofino is becoming a Mecca for all surfers world wide!
After surfing earlier in the trip on St Lawrence River in downtown Montreal ( the GCAT crew couldn't wait to get into the salt water for a surf in the real waves of the Pacific Ocean (the St. Lawrence had a very unique and rare stationary river wave that never broke!). The GCAT crew teamed up with the pretty and talented Hannah from the Pacific Surf School who took us to Chesterman's Beach for the afternoon.
The Pacific Surf School is a friendly, affordable and safe place to take lessons, rent boards or get information on the local surf scene. Being in the surf business in Tofino since 1998, the Pacific Surf School offers the most comprehensive and fun surf lessons on the coast for all ages from beginner to advanced. They have a large staff of friendly, experienced surf instructors who can walk you through the whole process of catching a wave; right from how to put on your 'wettie' to the proper way to look cool holding your board!
After getting suited up and hitting the beach Chris and I spent several hours 'out back' catching some perfect little waves. We got right into it having surfed many times before but Stephanie needed a bit more time on the 'little waves' near shore. Being her first time ever on a board she showed great enthusiasm as she repeatedly got 'dumped' but kept climbing back up on her board to give it another try! That's our girl!
By the end of the day we were all exhausted but stoked. With the intense natural beauty of Tofino, the great quality of waves and the friendly atmosphere we understood why Tofino is such legendary surf spot. But surfer or not, there are a ton of other things to do in Tofino as well including cultural adventures, bear and wolf watching tours, heli-tours, camping, great dining, pampering spas, etc so if your friends surf and you don't make sure you make the trip too! It's a legendary place for more than just surfing. But, the surfing is damn good!
Hang loose gang!
