About Us
It all started with a desire to share a passion for the ocean...
​
Blue Jellyfish SUP Adventures was founded in 2016 and led by Pam, is on a mission to connect people to the ocean through SUP.
​
We run our business with the intention of providing awe-inspiring SUP adventures that fill our customers with joyful delight and build confidence in their mental and physical abilities. By facilitating and empowering a positive, passionate, and supportive community of paddlers, we want to expand horizons, encourage growth, and strengthen the bonds between ourselves, others, and the oceans through magical paddle board experiences.
​
Pam Martin tried paddleboarding for the first time in 2010 and fell in love! She is now is a certified Paddle Canada SUP Basic & Advanced Flatwater Instructor, as well as a Coastal Touring 1 Instructor.
​
Pam studied Marine Biology at the University of Guelph & Commercial Photography at Sheridan College. Her love of the water has led her to many aquatic pursuits - canoeing as a child, competitive sailing, sprint canoe/kayak racing and long-distance Outrigger Canoe racing before discovering the sport of Stand Up Paddleboarding.
