Tofino is on the east coast of Vancouver island if you want to know more on how to get there once on Vancouver island ask any tourist info person or just get a map. Great Lakes Hi. I live in Hamilton, Ontario and have a few of the best skim spots near me to tell you about. Longpoint beach on lake Erie is by far the best spot in this area. Near the end of the point is where there are no shells and a mix of both good waves and flatland to satisfy any mood.
High tide is when the best waves come in.
Most people don't know about it because for the past 10 years the water has been polluted. Recently, it has been reopened and white sand brought in to refurbish the area. Both of these areas are the best I've found around and are great between May- September when the water is warm. On the Canadian east coast we have great skimming locations. While in Nova Scotia and lookin' to skim, head to one of two beaches for good wave riding.
