May 15th, 2025
Ever wondered how quickly can you catch a wave in Tofino? We decided to put it to the test with a bike, a surfboard, and a stopwatch. π²πββοΈβ±
Swell Tofino surf shop is the closest rental shop to the beach. It’s only a minute car ride, a 3-minute bike ride, and a 7-minute walk away. In this video, we hop on a bike and head to North Chesterman Beach, one of Tofino’s most accessible and consistent surf spots.
The mission? See just how fast we can go from our shop to catching our first wave.
Spoiler alert: it might be quicker than you think. π
