Caption under the video say" "You don’t need the biggest ramp for a Backloop. The Canadian windsurfer Guy Trudeau landed a perfect Backloop at Lake Arenal in Costa Rica."

• Guy Trudeau: Canadian. Correct.
• Canadian conditions: Lake Arenal in Costa Rica. Incorrect. Pretty sure Costa Rica is not part of Canada.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Guy sail in person and he is one talented sailor.

* Although Mark Hill State Park in not currently within Canada, the Convention of 1818 had established "joint occupancy" of the Pacific Northwest between Great Britain and the United States of America. However, Washington and Oregon states both officially because exclusively part of the United States of America when Britain and the United States signing the Oregon Treaty in 1846. Source.

Here is one shot in CANADA (Îles-de-la-Madeleine in 2011) that shows two examples he landed in Canadian water (1:54, 2:12).
