O´Neill CoLd Water CLassic: Tofino, B.C Canada

National Geographic recently named Tofino one of the world's best beach towns, but water temperatures barely get above 50 degrees Fahrenheit during this surfing classic...
When the females of this one-street village of 1,200 souls heard they were not eligible to surf in Coldwater Canada the first women's competition: Queen of the Peak,  was set up for the previous day.
The event expanded  with a new category: Princess of the Peak for girls 12 and under and Surf Masters, for women over 40; in this category  for every successful ride, $5 is donated to breast cancer research.
