Par Dessus Bord will stand as the first comprehensive monograph to document the emerging surf scene in the province of Québec.

 

In the cold waters of Québec, where rivers meet tides and snow often falls on waves, a distinct surf culture has taken root. From the St. Lawrence River to the rugged coasts of the Gaspé Peninsula, this book captures the beauty, grit, and quiet passion of those who ride northern swells and river waves. Through evocative imagery and raw moments, it tells the story of a community that finds warmth in motion and meaning in every fleeting line of water.
