Winter Kooks is Alberta’s first-ever river surfing film, diving into the lives of two land locked surfers battling winter depression through the raw intensity of cold-water surfing.

As the temperatures drop, their bond grows stronger, proving that friendship, resilience, and a shared love for the wave can carry you through even the coldest seasons.
