Habitat 67 is Canada's most famous standing wave. Located in the Lachine Rapids, in Montreal, Quebec, the ride attracts surfers from all over the world.

The static wave breaks right in front of a futuristic residential block planned by the famous architect Moshe Safdie, in 1967. Habitat 67, the surf spot, is a fast-flowing river wave that is enjoyed by surfers, bodyboarders and kayakers.

This challenging wave can build up to two metres high. Upriver, surfers can find an alternative: "Big Joe" is also surfable and endless rides are available.

There are more than 500 local surfers. The Montreal surfing community discovered Habitat 67 in 2002 and, since then, thousands have been testing its qualities.
