Shredding wild backcountry waves at Mountain Wave on the Kananaskis River isn’t your average surf sesh, it’s Alberta’s own kind of epic.

These waves are not for beginners so if you're thinking of trying river surfing, start smart with a lesson from the pros at Alberta River Surfing Association in conjunction with Bow Valley Stand Up Paddleboarding and Surf.

Respect the wave. Respect the locals. Ride safe, always. 🏄‍♂️🗻
