In 2011 some mates and I drove from Toronto to Nova Scotia to surf during the winter. Being from Trinidad we were stoked for some snowcapped sessions. We got some of the best left and right hand point breaks to ourselves. The locals then, were against foreigners taking videos because they didn' want it to get crowded over the years. We totally understood the feeling, didnt stop us from scoring the darkest deepest barrels.
i can remember just body surfing and ending up high and dry on the beach, that was in the 80's, when the gulf stream comes close to shore and hurricane season comes early its great, funny growing up there i never saw one surfboard.
Your surfing sure makes us look good here in NS! 🌊👍 That break was amazing! For those wondering where this is the clue was in the edit...or maybe that was a tease, who knows? I bet there's a few surfers who know...in any case...what more could you ask for? Yeewww! Cheers, John ;)
fairly warm. 5 or 6mm for the coldest days. Hood, boots and gloves. Getting in is a bit painful when the water creeps in but they do their job. Once the water is in and you're moving it's all good. But if there are any leaks you REALLY feel it. The worst part aside from getting in and out of the water/changed etc...is probably the lack of flexibility, but honestly once you're out there doing it, you don't really care that much. Surfing is surfing after all. It's almost always fun.
@@doublestrokeroll Thanks for the insight. And I know surfing big cold waves must be a greater challenge. It is harder to hold your breath in cold water.
East Coast of Canada has few surfers, great waves after a hurricane comes up from the Caribbean and blows it self out on our shores... Fishermen stay home and the ocean is empty...Gotta like the cold though - Beer and Lobsters to be had at every Hamlet you drive thru..
Gonna be tricky to find this wave, they tell it's in Canada. Ok 2nd biggest country with the most coast line in the world. Somewhere in N.S. I presume.
I surf east coast New jersey to Sebastion in Florida also cocoa beach .And Virginia they had some knarly waves there like 9 feet .This year i might join ya in that area .I don,t have a wet suit though???
I used to surf with board shorts around the end of August till the end of September, depending on if a hurricane blew through and pushed the Gulf Stream inshore.
