Rocky beaches line the Bay of Fundy and the difference between high and low tide can extend about a mile. During low tide we ventured out onto the red clay ocean bottom to forage for clams. For beginners, we start on the beach with the essentials covering safety, paddling technique, the pop-up, and surfing etiquette. In-water components cover paddling, popping up, and reading the waves. Even in the depths of winter, I’ve stood on the wind-blown headland overlooking Lawrencetown Beach (about 25 km or 16 mi east of Halifax) to watch the surfers (definitely in wetsuits!!) skimming along the breakers. The mag describes the province in terms you may need to be a surfer to understand: “Nova Scotia hosts heaps of cobblestone point breaks, not to mention countless mysto reefs and beach breaks.”
