This is an event for the entire family and everyone is welcome!

With three Cities (Montreal, Vancouver, and Toronto) Brainfreeze is worth melting for. It's energizing, exciting, and Instagrammable from tide in to tide out. People of all ages gather in subzero temperatures and voluntarily jump in freezing water. If you're looking to #DoSomething for youth mental health, this is a blissful way to do it.

The seasons are changing once again, and it's time to dust off your gear and get ready for the surf season. With new people coming into our community every year, we are creating an opportunity for people to sell the gear they no longer use so that others can get out there and do what they love. In addition, we will be selling a portion of our own rental and surf school fleet (surfboards, SUPs and wetsuits).
