BREAKING NEWS ON SUP REGULATIONS: The following regulations come into force on May 14, 2018 If every person on board a paddleboat, a watercycle, a STAND UP PADDLEBOARD or a sealed-hull, sit-on-top kayak is wearing a personal flotation device or lifejacket of an appropriate size, the paddleboat, watercycle, paddleboard or kayak is required to carry on board only the following safety equipment:... (a) a sound-signalling device; and (b) a watertight flashlight, if the paddleboat, watercycle, paddleboard or kayak is operated after sunset or before sunrise or in periods of restricted visibility. The exemption removes the requirement to carry 15 m of buoyant heaving line, and motivates the wearing of personal flotation devices or lifejackets. If the PFD is simply carried (strapped to board), then the 15 m of line is required. The fine amounts for contraventions to the Regulations range from $200 to $500 as detailed in the Contravention Regulations The amendments relating to stand-up paddleboards are largely supported by stakeholders, including Paddle Canada, a national, non-governmental organization that sets standards for instruction and certification for recreational canoeing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. Some early misunderstandings about how stand-up paddleboards would be regulated caused confusion, particularly in the surfing community. Discussions clarified that stand-up paddleboards that continue to be used as surf boards in a surf environment and not for navigation would not be subject to the requirements of the Regulations. However, if a stand-up paddleboard is used as a vessel for navigation, then it would need to meet the requirements of the Regulations and the amendments.

Harvie Passage will be open soon! Please stay tuned! I've not tested the river right channel yet, but it should be good for any paddlers who have taken a river-focused lesson. The river left channel is sporty! You either need strong intermediate whitewater paddling skills, or strong intermediate whitewater swimming skills.
