While summer surf is pleasantly safe here in Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Ocean is at its zenith during the winter. Tropical storms and hurricane winds batter the rugged coastline from August to November and provide the best surfing conditions.

Rossignol Surf Shop and staff are willing to brave the temperatures and water to bring you the beauty and variety of the southwestern shore. Jeff Norman provides winter surf instruction and gear rental in partnership with White Point Beach Resort in Liverpool, Nova Scotia.

They offer complete Learn to Surf clinics, which are about three hours in length. First you learn basic skills on dry land, then you gear up into your complete winter surf outfit and try those skills out in the ocean.

You'll be needing the hot tub at White Point Lodge by the time you're finished. Visit their website today for more information ( http://www.outdoorns.com/surfshop/ ) or phone: 902 683 2530
