This is the largest community gathering for the exchange, purchase or sale of used surfboards in Canada, but it is above all an opportunity for families, couples, passers-by and friends to go for a walk in the rue Villeray, closed to traffic between rue Drolet and rue Henri-Julien.

You can drink a Boréale beer or a coffee from Paquebot. We can also eat under the good care of the “neighbours” of Villerois, namely Mademoiselle Gateaux and the Moccione restaurant, which will offer a street food menu created especially for the occasion.

The event will take place from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will then continue at the Miss Villeray bar. Funds will be raised for Le club Le Grand V, whose mission is to introduce young people to functional training free of charge.

“It’s a neighborhood event that the people of Villeray appreciate. When we announced the return of the Surf Swap, we felt a wave of love and enthusiasm”, underlines Sébastien Burns, co-owner of the Archive boutique.
