Story
"The surf calls so many people to Tofino. I’m fortunate to be blessed with a wonderful young lady who came to be a part of the Roy Henry Vickers Gallery for a number of years. She enjoyed the surf and we enjoyed her expertise in the gallery. Cass has moved on to continue her relationship with the sea and the surf and we all miss her in the gallery. Surfer Girl is dedicated to all those girls who have come to enjoy Tofino and the magic and power of the Pacific surf on British Columbia’s west coast."
