UBC has introduced a reading break for the fall semester this year! Unfortunately, the skiing in early November can be a little sketchy (especially for beginners), but on the other hand, the swell in Tofino is bumping and the summer crowds are gone. 

 

Join a group of VOCers on a trip up to Tofino where we will spend 4 nights at the surf grove campground at Cox Bay. The site offers beach access, electricity, showers+WC, a fire ring, picnic table, surf rentals, and wifi! So if you just want to surf for 2 days with the rentals, and then hang out by the fire and study with the wifi for the other 2 days, that is totally up to you. Whether you have surfed for several years or you have never gotten up on a board, you are encouraged to signup! 

 

Location: Cox Bay Surf Grove Campground, Tofino BC

Date: Wed November 10th - Sunday, November 14th

Cost (rough estimates): $142.17 (+food and rentals) per person (rough breakdown shown below)

 

  • Camping cost $250.80 per group of 4 (for 4 nights) ⇒ $62.7 per person for thecamping (i.e. $15.68 per night per person)

  • Ferry Cost (cheapest available) leave 6:15am-7:55am return 8:45pm-10:25pm ⇒ $204.40 per group of 4 = $51.10 per person for the ferry

  • Gas Costs (assume 4 people in car) ⇒ [40km (van->hs bay) + 204km (Nan->Tof)]* 2(both ways) * 15L/100km * 1.55 $/L /4people = $28.37 per person for the gas

Additional Costs:

  • Food Cost (BYOF or make a food group with other participants).

  • Rental Costs – If you do not own your own surfboard and hooded wetsuit (+booties and gloves), then you will need to rent. Prices will vary from shop to shop but ~40$ a day for the full kit.

(Note: exact costs for communal stuff will be split after the trip and will be slightly above or below these expected prices.)
