Newfoundland Wonderland October 2007
The wilderness in Newfoundland makes you feel small. I didn't get to see any ice bergs or whales - they pass through in the spring. This is Topsail Beach on Conception Bay.
Not the greatest beach surface to launch from - one downfall of riding in Newfoundland, especially for learners. There is a sandy location within one hour of St. John's though. There are also surfable waves on the Atlantic side of the city near Middle Cove.
There was a citizens' beach cleanup going on the day I rode here. Newfoundlanders love and respect their pristine natural environment. We enjoyed a barbeque with steamed mussels and a traditional flute, fiddle and guitar band jamming.
Bell island is a folksy party spot in the summers, and is a landmark of marine and mining history.
Little Bell Island in the background is uninhabited but reachable by kite!
