KSF in LaSalle, Montréal, QC, is a surf, SUP and kayak shop and school by the river wave at Vague à Guy, with patient instructors, board rentals and whitewater kayak outings on the Lachine Rapids.
KSF's LaSalle location is a paddle and surf shop that also runs lessons, sitting close to Vague à Guy, the standing river wave where Montréal surfers gather. Reviews are almost all five stars, and many come from people who took their first lesson here.
Instructors are the standout. Beginners describe being nervous and leaving confident, and one visitor could rent a board and practise on their own after a single introductory lesson. A family said a primary-school-aged child caught waves easily in a level 1 class, and a kayak student praised an instructor who kept rolling practice fun. When a storm moved in, one group appreciated being calmly brought off the water.
Beyond surfing, KSF offers kayak classes, including rolling, and play boating on the Lachine Rapids. The shop sells surfboards, SUPs, kayaks and wetsuits, and one customer in British Columbia had a surfboard shipped across the country, packed carefully enough to arrive undamaged.
River surfing is a demanding sport, so expect a workout even in a beginner class. Book a lesson before trying the wave on your own.
