When most people picture British Colombia they see The Canadian Rocky Mountains and Winter sports. Pete Devries hails from BC and is now travelling the world in his boardies most of the time but back home he becomes a cold waterman who endures the North Pacific’s waves.

At only 7 years old, a few household chores allowed young Pete to ditch his bodyboard and buy his first surfboard. Back in the days wetsuits didn’t do a great job and so he could only surf in the summer.
Then this little guy from Tofino, British Columbia grew up and evolved at an international level. He may find himself wearing boardshorts and surf the most beautiful waves in the world, he is always happy to come home. Addicted to the feeling of gliding on a wave, you’ll always find him in the water whether it rains or snows.
Pete is the ultimate cold-water surfer.
