Learn to SURF in Alberta (Yes, Alberta!)
The exciting new sport of River Surfing is ideally suited to Alberta! Ocean Surfers dream of the "endless wave" but only River Surfers actually surf them - you can be surfing the ‘standing waves' of our mountain-fed rivers this weekend!
Anyone can River Surf! Our specialty is teaching people with no surfing experience at all. The only prerequisite is that you are comfortable in the water and can easily swim a few laps in the pool.

We teach with boards and equipment that are specially designed for easy learning on river waves (instead of inappropriate gear from ocean surfing). This makes learning to surf on river waves easier and far less frustrating!
Course fees include surfboard, wetsuit, surf floatation vest, helmet and booties! All participants will be required to sign a waiver. You can read and print it here .
