Attack of Danger Bay
The annual Attack of Danger Bay longboard race, organized by Bricin Lyons and Coast Longboarding, was the first Canadian downhill longboard event and remains the biggest and best with the biggest cash prizes. It put Pender Harbour on the map with competitors from all over the world, the first ever slide competition, longboard hockey, women’s events, May Day parade participation and of course the cash prizes.
Longboard guru and Coast Longboarding founder, the irrepressible Bricin Lyons, is a Pender Harbour boy who you might have seen on a 2007 episode of the Trailer Park Boys— he hooked up with Ricky and Julian and the rest of em when he and Raggie rolled across Canada to support Push For The Cure, a cancer research fundraiser.
Or, you might have been lucky enough to catch Bricin and the rest of the band, Loose Tooth, performing classical music at Vancouver’s Cambie or Cobalt Hotel. Um, no... wait— we meant classic... classic punk rock. Yeah, that’s it!
