History made at 15th edition of the 2022 Rip Curl Pro Nationals in Tofino, BC

The 2022 Rip Curl Pro Nationals was one for the books.

It was Canada’s biggest surf contest in history with about 185 competitors, and for the first time since the event was launched in 2007, a lay day was called due to high winds and dangerous conditions.

Day 1 on Friday, April 8 was postponed and relocated to North Chesterman Beach on Saturday. Event organizers had a hectic couple days moving tents and equipment from one beach to another, but they were ultimately able to pull off rolling two days of competition into one by reducing heats from 20 minutes to 15 minutes and running two heats at the same time on separate banks.
