ORION - Montreal's Ice Surfer - Winter River Surfing Short Film

Winner of "Best Short Movie" at the International Surf Film Festival Anglet in 2025, ORION is a glimpse into the life and mind of Montreal's ice surfer. Known for surfing year round in the St Lawrence River, including the frigid winter, Orion braves temperatures colder than -30 Celcius in search of landlocked waves amidst the ice floes.

A true iceman, Orion is one of the only Montreal surfers who dares to measure himself against the icy waters in the coldest Canadian months of the year..
