The surfer and kayaker, wearing what appeared to be helmets, life jackets and drysuits, took turns catching waves on Saturday afternoon.

On Feb. 21, the City of Saskatoon issued a public advisory saying the construction of a temporary steel bridge to transport materials and equipment would create a narrow channel with a fast current.
City officials have recommended that recreational activities by the bridge be halted as a spell of warm weather created the potential for large chunks of ice to break loose and travel downstream and through the channel.
