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. Set on the frigid glacier fed rivers of Alberta, the film follows their journey as they seek solace, adrenaline, and connection in one of the most unlikely surf spots on Earth. 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. Winter Kooks is a powerful story of mental health, extreme sport, and finding warmth in unexpected places.
