Face of Canadian Surfing













On a sunny Halowe'en day with a crowd cheering him on through the most awesome waves of this week's competition, Canadian Pete DeVries won the first ever ASP world qualifying event on Canadian shores. Carried on the shoulders of his fans, the conquering hero rode in to accept the trophy to deafening cheers of all the people who came out to support this local Tofino surfer. DeVries grew up just steps away from North Chesterman Beach, where this final day of Canada's O'Neill Coldwater Classic was held. For that last defining heat, Pete pulled out all the stops, conquering every wave that came his way.

It was an incredible day to be a surf fan, a Canadian and right here on the beach where surf history was made!
