You may have already heard about surfing in B.C., but did you know that you could also surf the Great Lakes, ride the St. Lawrence River in Montreal and shred the waves in Nova Scotia?
Although Canada may not have the tallest waves in the world, we have excellent beginner and intermediate surf destinations from Tofino to Crystal Beach to Lawrencetown Beach. There are also surf schools and surf shops to help you discover your inner ‘dude’. Here are some helpful links to help you get started.

Hi I work for Nova Scotia Tourism and love that you’ve shared our surfing with others. Die hard surfers around here surf year round. Check out the boys on Surf Donkey, a webisode done by Decane Surf Shop at http://www.hurricanesurf.com The girls at http://www.onelifesurf.com also have a great surf school for women out in Lawrencetown.

Thanks for the info, Cynthia!
Is there still a psychedelic surf van serving delicious fare outside Lawrencetown? I can’t remember what it’s called…
