Oh yeah, it’s f*&*ing cold outside.  Time to stop thinking about surfing (unless you’re a Canadian surfing Navy Seal, like Peter DeVries!) and break out your snowboard.  You might see some of these tricks coming soon to a hill near you…and I’m sure you’ll be spending some serious time in the emergency ward mending some broken bones shortly thereafter!  Enjoy the video,  there is some sweet air time going on here!!

One word to describe this video – cold. Only in Canada would someone be crazy enough to surf in the snow. Actually, some surfers say the swells are better in winter than in summer. No arguments here, these are some nice looking waves. This is Peter DeVries, and he just tears it up here in this snow storm. It’s just that he might need to, you know, thaw out for about ten hours after surfing. That’s dedication.

More proof that Tofino is making a name for itself in the surfing community.  This weekend, the O’Neill Coldwater Classic tournament returns to Tofino for the second consecutive year.  Tofino surfing guru Peter DeVries won last year’s tournament, which certainly didn’t hurt O’Neill’s decision to come back to the surfing capital of Canada.  You’ll be seeing lots more of this up in Tofino this weekend.  With Thanksgiving coming up, I just realized that I’m thankful for living on Vancouver Island.  The best freakin’ place on Earth.  I think most Canadian surfers would agree.
