Habitat 67 (standing wave)

Habitat 67 is the name of a standing wave on the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Informally named for the adjacent Habitat 67 housing complex, it has become a popular destination for whitewater kayaking and river surfing.

[1] The wave is created by fast-moving water hitting underwater boulders.

This creates a wave that can reach a height of 2 metres (6 ft 7 in).

A second Montreal river-surfing school, KSF, has hosted 1,500 students a year since 2003.
