On 23 August, 2014, the inaugural Canadian Surfski Champs was held in coastal British Columbia, one week after the US Surfski Champs in San Francisco, attracting the top 8 finishers as well as Hank McGregor, who flew out from South Africa for the event.

In the tiny waterfront community of Deep Cove near Vancouver, BC Canada, the sport of surf ski racing has taken hold in a big way.  Deep Cove's Tuesday Night Paddle Sport Race which started 11 years ago has transformed from being mostly sea kayaks to now having mostly surf skis.  This weekly event runs for 24 weeks each summer and has formed the training ground for many new ski paddlers in Vancouver area.
