La Classique Vague à Guy

La Classique Vague à Guy marks the return of Montréal’s annual river surfing competition each September, transforming the LaSalle borough into a hub for longboard enthusiasts. Organized by Rivsurf at the stationary Vague à Guy, the event brings together surfers from across Québec alongside spectators lining Boulevard LaSalle, between Raymond and Gagné. Judges assess flow, posture, style and innovation as athletes take to the wave in a festive riverside setting. Beyond the competition, the site features surf-inspired activities, food concessions, local beer and cultural performances, creating a community-focused celebration at summer’s end. The competition is streamed live on YouTube for those who cannot attend in person.
