Every spring the winter run off swells the rivers in and around Quebec, creating some of the most amazing conditions for freestyle paddlers to surf some very big waves. This past spring, kayaker Tyler Fox took is video camera along to shoot the action, and as you’ll see below, the results are nothing short of spectacular. The water really is huge and that allows these talented athletes to really show off their abilities.
After you’re done picking up your jaw, head over to Canoe & Kayak where you can read an interview with Tyler, where he talks about the experience of being out on the water in these conditions, as well as the “biggest, most gnarly wave ever surfed.”
