POTW: Kids Ride the Wave

June 25, 2026

SailGP fan, Mike Smith caught the kids breaking the rule while parents took pictures at the Halifax Pier ‘s ornamental concrete wave. The sculpture is meant to celebrate the connection to the sea but it provides a superb climbing and sliding fun spot for kids from all over the world.  Perhaps they missed the prominent warning on the sign at the wave’s base.

Got some shots from your boat or on your boating adventures.  We want them for the Photo of the Week. Kids (like this week’s), funny signs like this one, pets, sunsets, or any other photo worthy boating moment is exactly what we’re after!  Send your shots to onboard@opmediagroup.ca and we’ll share them in an upcoming issue. Thanks in advance.

One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
