Even though Tofino can get up to 127 inches of rainfall every year and suffer grueling winters - one local surfer manages to retain a year-round sunny disposition... his name is Noah Cohen. Who would better be suited than him as the event ambassador for this year’s Cold Water Classic Canada event.

21-year old Noah Cohen is a Tofino local, professional surfer and team rider for O’Neill.

No snowstorm, of which there are many in Tofino along the West Coast of Canada, will keep Noah from punting a lofty air-reverse or pulling into a rare barrel at one of his local beach-breaks. When the surf is pumping, no matter what the temperature, don’t even bother trying to call him for a surf – he is probably already there.
