We went to Tofino to surf and surf we did! We got basement prices on a condo at Cox Bay Beach Resort and took some surfing lessons. By the second day we were hitting some nice surf and spending a lot of time on our boards. Playing in the water all day was like being a kid again. It was novel to think that the big O'Neil Cold Water Classic surf competition was held on this very beach. The waves in Cox Bay beat us up a bit (click here to see the live Cox Bay Web cam). Nothing the hot tub and infrared sauna couldn't take care of!
It didn't take us long to understand something fundamental about surfing- its all about being in harmony with the environment, the waves, the currents, the water, the sand, and the surf. Nurturing this relationship with nature is what it means to truly be a surfer.
