Growing up in Montreal, surfing was always what people lucky enough to have been born near a coastline did. After scoring a master’s degree in cultural history at 33 I picked apples for a while and fled Canada, responsibility, and being land-locked. After riding my first wave in Peru I was hooked, so I spent a year surfing around New Zealand (with a brief stint on O’ahu) before moving back to Montreal. After getting married last year, my partner and I were sick of winter and not having an ocean nearby so we moved to Victoria, BC, where I surf, write, and live.
