Friday Night Social Paddles
& SUP Meetups Victoria
Join Blue Jellyfish SUP Adventures and Pacifica Paddle Sports for Friday night Social Paddles, every week
from April to September!
Each Friday, we meet at Pacifica Paddle Sports in Brentwood Bay, except the first Friday of the month when we gather at the Swartz Bay location at Canoe Cove Marina.
This is a fun, relaxed social event – not a lesson or "tour". If you're new to paddling, try one of our lessons or enroll in a Paddle Canada Basic Flatwater Course first.
Swartz Bay Socials take place on April 4, May 2, June 6, July 4, August 8, and September 5. Space is limited, so sign up in advance - even if you're bringing your own vessel!
Swartz Bay Socials will explore the beautiful Gulf Islands, teeming with marine life.
Brentwood Bay Socials take place on the second to fourth or fifth Friday of each month. We will paddle around Brentwood Bay, Tod Inlet, or Saanich Inlet, a perfect spot for beginners to practice their skills in a safe, calm area.
The sunsets here are spectacular!
Event times:
-
April & September: 5:50 PM – 7:30 PM
-
May – August: 6:20 PM – 8:00 PM
Paddle at 6:00 PM (April/September) or 6:30 PM (May–August).

Bringing your own vessel? It’s FREE!
