So proud of my friend and student @supgirlkirsty for teaching her very first Intro to SUP lesson this week as a newly certified Paddle Canada SUP Instructor! Her lesson was a huge success and her students are itching to get out with her again to learn more! Couldn't have asked for a more memorable backdrop too....how about those fall colours! Kirsty has been paddling consistently for 5 years, racing for 3 and is a wealth of knowledge which comes from her unwavering commitment to her own professional development. You can find Kirsty at the Wai Nui Outrigger Canoe Club on 16 mile Creek in Oakville, ON. @townofoakville @paddlecanada @monsterandsea @wendypaddle #dreamjob #liveyourdream #livingthedream #gobecauseyoucan #loveyourjob #supinstructors #oakville #16milecreek @ Wai Nui O Kanaka - Outrigger Canoe Club

Incredible weekend teaching this crew on their @paddlecanada flatwater SUP Instructor course! What an amazing weekend of teamwork and collaboration; A truly special dynamic in this group. It was also an absolutely pleasure working with @nivfroehlich who is apprenticing to become a @paddlecanada SUP instructor trainer. Huge thanks to @torontoislandsup for hosting us and look forward to many more collaborative programs in the future :)... #thepaddlecoach #supinstructors #paddlecanada #torontoislandsup #torontoskyline #bestofficeever #loveyourjob #torontoisland #wardsisland @ Toronto Island SUP

Portaging with a SUP. With gear. In one trip. It'll never be a cake walk but there are certainly ways to make it much easier! There are so many incredible spots in Ontario not to be missed, that are only accessible if you are willing to take on a few portages. Killarney Provincial Park is notorious for this but boy does the hard work pay off! Don't let those portages stop you. Sneak peek for 2021 - learning how to pack and load a board properly and how to efficiently portage ...with your SUP and gear (and getting the chance to do it!) will be just one of the many things you'll walk away with on our Northern Touring getaways. Stay tuned for details! We'll announce on IG and website but don't hesitate to message or email to be added to the list of those first to find out! @killarneypp Paddle Canada #SUPtouring #backcountrysup #paddleontario #paddlecanada #exploreyourbackyard #supadventures @ Nunikani Lake

This family got together to give their mama the perfect birthday gift! A SUP experience as a family! It was her first time on a SUP and like all of us, she is now totally hooked! Great time on the water with you all and hope to see you out there again soon. #suplessons #portcreditsup #learntosup #sup #portcredit #lakefrontpromenadepark #lakeontario @paddlecanada... @ Lakefront Promenade Park
