Aloha Complex: Indoor Surfing & Tropical Food in Quebec City

Surf, Dine, Play: Quebec City’s Year-Round Indoor Tropical Escape

Oasis Surf is recognized as Canada’s first indoor surfing center, proudly located in Brossard, Quebec. The facility stands out for its cutting-edge Surfstream technology, which generates real, continuous, surfable waves that mimic ocean conditions. Riders can paddle in, drop in, carve, and even practice advanced maneuvers using authentic surfboards with fins. The experience caters to every level, offering beginners one-on-one guidance from trained surf instructors while giving intermediate and expert surfers enough power and speed to refine technique, improve balance, and push their limits.

Oasis Surf is not only about riding a wave. The venue features a lively tropical-themed restaurant and bar called Le Turf, where visitors can refuel with great food, ice-cold drinks, and a warm island vibe. A full surf shop on site makes it easy to gear up, pick up accessories, or grab souvenirs. Many guests take advantage of package deals that combine surf sessions with meals, live entertainment, and a full beach club atmosphere, all without leaving the building.

Now the excitement is rolling into Quebec City. This rising attraction is already generating attention, bringing a splash of West Coast surf culture to the heart of the province. You do not have to be a surfer to enjoy the action. Watching riders carve, pump, and cut back on the wave is a thrill on its own. It feels like a California surf trip without booking a flight, and your Canadian dollars stay comfortably at home. Newcomers can learn the basics in complete safety, and seasoned surfers can practice river surfing skills, work on wake surfing tricks, and build confidence before heading back outdoors. The indoor surf wave, the only one of its kind in Canada, offers a true board riding experience year-round.

Aloha Complex, an exciting new indoor surf destination offering tropical recreation and on-site dining throughout the year, is preparing to open at 2205 Wilfrid Hamel Boulevard in Quebec City.

Scheduled for a Summer 2026 launch, the new hotspot will unveil a massive indoor modular wave engineered for beginners, intermediate riders, and advanced surfers looking to perfect their technique. Guests will also discover The Sunset, a Bali-inspired restaurant featuring Californian dishes, handcrafted cocktails, refreshing mocktails, and privately imported wines. Diners will enjoy panoramic views of the largest indoor surf wave in the country while they eat.

Co-founders Jean François and Laurent Paquin developed Aloha Complex as a space where sports, wellness, and social experiences come together. Visitors can enjoy surf sessions, relaxing activities, and standout tropical cuisine under one roof. The Sunset will serve coastal favorites, including fish tacos, poke bowls, lobster rolls, jerk chicken, and more. The bar menu elevates the experience with signature drinks such as the Mai Tai, Daiquiri, and Mojito, paired with curated selections of beer and wine.

The story of indoor surfing began with a hopeful dream: to create a one-of-a-kind destination inspired by the Devil on the Bonaventure River in Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula, where families, friends, and surf enthusiasts could gather to enjoy sun, water, and quality time together. The phrase “Devil on the Bonaventure River” is not widely known; it draws from local folklore and the nearby Devil’s River, a site steeped in Quebec legends. That dream became the vision for a year-round indoor surf center in Quebec, designed by the Paquin brothers, former lifeguards and lifelong water sports enthusiasts. Their goal was to make surfing accessible to everyone, offering a family-friendly indoor surfing experience, state-of-the-art waves, and year-round surf activities that bring the thrill of the ocean to Quebec City, no matter the season.

The concept was built around the hope of creating a space where fun, safety, and the true spirit of surfing come together, offering a welcoming environment where beginners and seasoned surfers alike can connect, grow, and create lasting memories. Inspired by this vision, other businesses joined the journey to bring the Aloha Complex to life. Today, with a wide array of sports, activities, and experiences for all ages, the complex stands as a vibrant destination where families, friends, and sports lovers come together to share joy, adventure, and the uplifting Aloha spirit.

So cue up Dick Dale’s iconic Misirlou, channel your inner Pulp Fiction energy, and get ready to ride the wave to Quebec City or simply enjoy the show from the sidelines.
