Stand UP paddleboarding TRIPS

This 3 day, 2 night lodge-based NAVIGATION INTENSIVE is  designed to take you on a deep dive into planning, executing and trouble shooting  paddle excursions giving you confidence using charts, weather predictions,  tide and current tables and other tools necessary to plan future trips on your own.

 

You will have lots of time on the water each day as we tour the area learning and implementing the  navigation skills introduced at the lodge and during our outings. This will be a  focused but fun program and the area is spectacularly beautiful. Paddling routes may include channel crossings, launches and landings, exploring the islands of Surge Narrows Marine Park, marine life sightings and amazing views of the Coast Mountain Range. Some time will be spent focusing on self and assisted rescue skills.

 

Evenings will be spent back at the cozy lodge relaxing, prepping for the next day and taking part in workshops such as rope skills, risk management, weather, etc.

 

There is a wood fired sauna on the dock to entice those wanting to sooth their tired muscles or to warm up after take a refreshing cold plunge into the sea. And the sunrises and sunsets are to die for!
