A friend and I took off for a little R&R in the great country of Canada. We drove up the east coast of the U.S. and continued north until we ran out of gas. When we finally woke up the next morning we had ended up about 40 miles from Fundy national park (New Brunswick, Canada). We had thrown our longboards in the car just in case we met up with some nice hills, but what we found was far greater than anything we expected. We discovered that New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland are the craziest underappreciated longboard spots on the eastern seaboard.
Fundy national park (New Brunswick), the Cabbot Trail ( Cape Breton Island,Nova Scotia), and Gros Morne Provincial Park (Newfoundland) were our main stops. We found sizeable hills scattered along the jagged coast line, sitting on top of beautiful ocean cliffs. We would find a hill, do a few runs, and hop back in the car. Drive on and find an endless number of rides along the beautiful ocean side drive, silouetted by green mountains on our inland side. We had the pleasure of doing a few sunset rides that for me highlighted our trip.
The roads are technically highways, but the few people traveling them are tourists who are creeping along at about 55 km/h site-seeing. We had no trouble riding anywhere we wanted. We got stopped by a park ranger once in Cape Breton who explained that although what we where doing was technically not illegal we should pack up and move along. For the most part the only people who stopped us were curious as to what we were doing, and genuinely entertained when we told them. Most the tourists in the area are Canadian and super friendly. Even in the dodgier areas like North Syndney (the town where the Newfoundland Ferry sits) the Canadian are friendly and always willing to stop and chat with foreigners.
My buddy and I had a great time riding in Canada, I wanted to pass off this experience to all of you. Just in case any of you are crazy enough to tack a few thousand miles onto your car for the sake of some great longboarding this may be the trip for you. My only complaint would be the length of the hills. Most are one minute or two minutes rides although there were a few passes along the way that, if willing to walk up, you could ride all the way down. The greatest part of this trip was you could take a legit vacation, making stops the whole way in a number of parks; Camping, whale watching, iceberg watching, sunning at beaches... and when it was time to move on you could longboard the whole way to your next destination.

Ride Strong.
