photo documentary ... Surfing in cold waters

Tofino is a district on the west coast of Vancouver island, in the Canadian province of British Columbia, located at the western terminus of Highway 4 at the southern edge of Clayoquot Sound.

Well known for its stunning nature (it is located in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve) and wildlife (whales, eagles, and much more), it attracts surfers all year long, some coming in winter time for the famous surf in cold water.

Back in 2010, I documented the O'Neill Cold Water Classic, part of a worldwide 5-stops competition.
