British Columbia Is Dark, Damp, And Frigid; Just How Pete Devries Likes It

Between the months of November and January, Canada’s westernmost province, British Columbia, averages four hours of daylight, 6.5 inches of rain (per month), and 40-degrees Fahrenheit. 

These obstacles make surfing in B.C. a rather trying pursuit, but they’ve never stopped Pete Devries, Noah Cohen, and friends from searching via boats, automobiles, and hiking boots for those fleeting, two-hour windows of fun. 

The video above portrays the reality of Canada’s winter surfing experience: dark, damp, and frigid. While those three adjectives have a generally negative connotation in surfing, something tells us Pete and his crew wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Keeps the crowds down, at the very least.
