The Welcome sign, Welcoming you to my Tofino Website
Tofino is a wonderful place of peace. Everyone at Tofino is extremely friendly, and has passion in any job they do.
Tofino is located in a geographical region called Clayoquot Sound, comprising about 400,000 hectares of land and marine inlets, all draining into a central marine catchment area. The Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations have made Clayoquot Sound their home for several thousand years. The Tla-o-qui-aht Village of Opitsaht (across the water from Tofino on Meares Island) is thought to have been continuously inhabited for at least the past 5,000 years, according to carbon dating of a long-buried stash of discarded clamshells. The word Clayoquot comes from Tla-o-qui-aht.

Surfing!!!!
The Turtle Roll If you�re on a longboard, it will be very difficult or impossible to duck dive your board. You�ll be using the turtle-roll. When you see an oncoming wall of whitewater, paddle straight at it to get some speed, grab your rails and flip the board so you�re beneath it underwater. Hold the board very tight and pull the nose down slightly. Your body will act as an anchor and the wave will pass over the board, keeping you from losing ground. The turtle-roll is a little tricky, but is an essential tool for longboarding. Just make sure you�re holding on tight and you�ll be OK. Remember: if you lose the board, it might hit someone else in the head. The Duck Dive The duck dive is a more advanced maneuver that�s a lot of fun when done right. If you have a shortboard, you can simply dive under the turbulence and pop out the other side unscathed. Unfortunately, it�s not as easy as it sounds. Executing a proper duck dive takes a lot of practice.
