Over the May long weekend, Innovative Fitness embarked on our fourth annual Surf Trip to Tofino. Excitement started to mount on Friday afternoon as the group gathered at the Innovative Fitness parking lot. After a beautiful trip featuring a scavenger hunt organized by Arran (thanks Arran!), we arrived to a stunning sunset at Cox Bay Beach Resort.
Early the next morning, we grabbed our gear from Long Beach Surf Shop and headed to Cox Bay to meet the ladies from Surf Sister, who provided an awesome group lesson for the morning. Afternoon surfing was optional, but the group was hooked, surfing wave after wave until the early evening.
Hunger set in once the crew finally makes its way to shore. Dinner featured barbequed chicken, quinoa, roasted veggies, and caesar salad. The day ended with some bonding – music and good company at the beach campire.
The Sunday morning sun was a welcome departure from the overcast skies we had experienced the previous day. Following a hearty breakfast, it was a free-for-all. Some surfed, while others basked, while still others went into town to explore. Later that evening, the team convened at the renowned Wolf in the Fog for some great food, drinks, and company to cap off the trip.
After a quick surf session on Monday morning, we began the trek home, but not without looking back and remarking that Tofino really is a special place filled with breathtaking beauty, delicious food, and irresistible adventure.
A huge thanks to everybody who make it out this year. Make sure to mark down May Long on your calendars for 2017!
