Thanks Delirium and nice pics yourself!

The palms fit perfectly at the surf board rental store.

A little trivia, many of the the surfing scenes in Point Break were filmed in Tofino.

I still think the people who say palms don't fit in Canada don't know much about BC and its biogeoclimate zones. Many of them are not of the typical Canadian stereotype.

As I pointed out in my Wild Wild West picture thread BC is where they filmed all the Mexico scenes in the new A-Team Movie (Ashcroft and Kamloops). BC is also where they filmed all the opening Africa scenes from the 13th Warrior, hehe. Not to mention Vancouver and Victoria are commonly used as stand ins for San Francisco in countless movies and TV shows. This is because the south coast of BC and the southern interior of BC have many biological and climatic similarities to that of central and northern California.

Anywhere that is in zone 8 or 9 in the world has palm trees planted (Central Japan, Northern and Central France, such as Paris, Southern England, Central Italy, Istanbul, etc...), so why is it wrong for Canada to do the same in our only areas that reach zone 8 to 9 hardiness? Again, it all comes down to pre conceived ideas of Canada. Southern Ontario also breaks many of the stereotypical images of Canada, as do other regions.
