Apparently we’re supposed to be moving on to fall now?

Yeah… I’m not done yet. ☀️🌊

There’s still a whole lot of summer left.

What are you still squeezing into summer?

Well... this should be fun. 🫣😂

Paddleboarders have opinions, and I want to hear yours.

What’s something paddleboarders will NEVER agree on?

The more we know, the safer we paddle.
Not all Canadian paddleboarding requirements are widely known, so I thought I'd put together this quick guide as a reminder before your next paddle.

Most people know paddle boards for something fun to do at the beach or paddling day trips, but fewer realize they can be used for backcountry travel.

Over the years, I’ve taken SUPs on multi-day backcountry routes and it always surprises people that this is even possible.

A few things that usually come up:
• where all the gear goes
• how stable they are when loaded
• whether portaging is involved
• how to actually get started

If you’re curious about the details, I’ve written a blog that breaks down what backcountry SUP travel actually looks like gear setup, planning, and what to expect on the water.

I also run guided backcountry paddle board trips for anyone who wants to experience it without figuring out all the logistics alone. Everything is set up for you, route planning, instruction, meals, and camping gear. You can feel safe, supported and focus on the experience itself.

For more details go to www.paddleadventurer.com or follow the links in my bio.

Have you ever thought about taking your paddle board beyond day trips?

5 Paddle Day Trips in Ontario ❤️🇨🇦

From calm, beginner-friendly paddles to more adventurous routes, these are some of my favourite Ontario spots to explore by paddle board.

📍Rockwood Conservation Area
📍Bon Echo Provincial Park
📍Barron Canyon, Algonquin Park
📍Bruce Peninsula
📍Katherine Cove, Lake Superior Provincal Park

Each one offers something completely different - shorter route, pictographs, canyon cliffs, turquoise shoreline, and rugged Lake Superior scenery.

Most of these can be beginner-friendly with the right route and calm conditions, while others offer opportunities to build confidence and explore farther.

Which one are you adding to your list first? 👀

Just finished my Wilderness First Responder course.

If you spend time in the outdoors, this kind of training changes how you see things.

Not just skills; awareness, decision-making, and confidence in situations you hope you never face.

And honestly, one of the best parts was the people.
Different backgrounds, different experience levels, all showing up to learn from the course and each other.

It’s a good reminder that putting yourself back in learning environments as an adult is always worth it.

Time in the backcountry does something to you.

Paddling into places you can’t drive to.
Choosing effort over ease.
Arriving somewhere you once thought was out of reach.
Sitting lakeside with people who showed up ready to grow.
