In this episode, Derik Hyatt interviews Vice President of the Alberta River Surfing Association and Co-Founder of Surf Anywhere, Jacob Kelly Quinlan. Tune in to hear them discuss the history of river surfing in Alberta, the Kananaskis River Wave, what it takes and how to build a river wave in your community, discovering river waves around the world, and much more!

Jacob Kelly Quinlan learned to surf in Australia. However, upon his return home to Alberta, substitutes such as snowboarding, longboarding and SUP didn’t seem to scratch the itch; until he was introduced to river surfing on Calgary’s Tenth Street Wave! River surfing soon took over his life, and for over a decade, he has traveled around the world growing the sport, competing, promoting safety, building new waves and fostering community around river waves. He has introduced hundreds of people to river surfing by providing lessons and many more through his efforts as the Vice President of the Alberta River Surfing Association. He played an integral role in fundraising for and building the world’s first government approved, community-built river wave in the Kananaskis. In 2018, Jacob and friends began filming their expeditions. Unsurfed Afghanistan is now released to the festival circuit and due for international release in 2021.
