Tofino's first-ever ASP sanctioned pro surf competition

The village of Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island will uphold its “Surfing Capital of Canada” reputation when the O’Neill Cold Water Classic comes to town October 9-15, 2010. More than one hundred of the world’s top surfers will hit the waves from the pristine beaches of Cox Bay, Chesterman Beach and the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve to compete for $145,000 USD in prize money. Participants and visitors alike will also get a chance to savour all that Tofino has to offer during its famed “storm-watching” season ― warm and welcoming accommodations, fantastic culinary choices from award winning restaurants, and up-close encounters with the forces of nature that make the area one of the most desirable coastal destinations year-round.
