Surfing the 49th Parallel

More than 50 slabs from the icy shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific's pounding waves — and every reverb-drenched garage in between — Canada’s surf scene has carved its own gnarly path. This playlist rides the line between classic twangy instrumentals, retro-inspired surf rock, and uniquely Canadian takes on the genre. Grab your board (or toboggan), crank the reverb, and let the Northern waves crash.

Featuring: vintage surf gems, modern Canuck shredders, and enough twang to melt a glacier.
