A shore thing

By Bunny Sherman

Surf’s up! Catch the perfect wave on Vancouver Island’s Long Beach.

The tree-lined beaches along the Pacific Rim National Park on the west coast of Vancouver Island are some of the best surfing destinations on the continent. The qualified instructors at Surf Sister offer three-hour lessons or multi-day camps, guaranteeing that even if you don’t manage to carve a 10-ft wave, you’ll still enjoy the surf.
