Dean Petty hangs five at the 2010 Why Can't We All Just Get A Longboard Contest at Martinique Beach on Saturday. Petty went on to win the men's dvision while Cape Breton's Michelle Richards won the women's division.
Despite a grim forecast, the surf gods showed pity on Nova Scotia and delivered ideal conditions for the inaugural Why Can’t We All Just Get A Longboard Contest at Martinique Beach on Saturday.
Light offshore breezes combined with small but clean longboard waves to supply plenty of stoke for the 25 or so contestants who participated in the contest.
And in a Nova Scotia rarity, the water was so warm most contestants left their wetsuits on the beach and surfed comfortably in boardshorts and bikinis.
In the men’s division, Dean Petty took top honours, followed by Justin Huston and Brian Villeneuve. On the women’s side, Cape Breton’s Michelle Richards captured first followed by Jill Manos and Sylvie Julien (aged 14).
Sam Julien, aged 10, competed in the men’s division and was awarded a trophy for the youngest competitor in the contest.

The 1st Annual Canadian Surf Film Festival (CSFF) will take place at the Empire Park Lane Cinemas in Halifax, Nova Scotia From September 30 to October 2, 2010.
Created by four Nova Scotian surfers, the CSFF will be a celebration of surf films and Canadian surf culture. The three-day event will include screenings, presentations and receptions.
“When I hear about a surf film screening in town, I get excited,” says Keith Maddison, CSFF co-founder. “Everyone shows up and is stoked to be there. So we wanted to create an event around surf films in our community.”
Renown surf photographer and filmmaker Yassine Ouhilal is also a co-founder of the festival.
“Surfing in Nova Scotia has been around here since the Sixties and with the CSFF, we will honor that heritage by showcasing classic films as well as exciting new releases,” says Ouhilal.
Included in the CSFF will be a competition for Canadians to create short 10-minute surf films with the best ones premiering at the festival.
“We want the community to be involved,” says Walter Forsyth, another CSFF founder, “and what better way to participate than to make a film.”
Deadline for submissions is September 3. For complete details, check out the recently-launched CSFF website.
The Canadian Surf Film Festival is also partnering with the Surfing Association of Nova Scotia (SANS) and the Coastal Access Committee to help raise awareness of their efforts.
“We would like to see the local surf culture to continue evolving in positive ways and we think an annual festival can contribute to this,” says Maddison. “Plus, if the ocean is flat, it’s the next best thing.”
In addition to festival details, the CSFF website includes a forum for surfers and surf culture enthusiasts to discuss surf films and culture and to promote their own surf art. It will be updated frequently in the coming months.
