Surfing: the coldest surf contest on the planet

Cold Water Classic Canada 2009

October 25th to 31st 2009, Tofino/Vancouver Island (Canada)

From its inception, the Cold Water Classic Series was never going to be a conventional surf contest. With its fourth stage, the series will celebrate another premiere: After events in Tasmania, Scotland and South Africa, the tour will now guest at Tofino, Vancouver Island, being the first professional surf contest to hit the Canadian shores. Freezing water and air temperatures, bears on the ground, whales in the water and even the chance of snow awaits 144 professional surfers from around the world for the Cold Water Classic Canada from October 25th to 31st 2009 - making it the coldest event in professional surfing.
