Saturday, July 4, 2020 I grew up in Squamish and have driven the Sea to Sky Highway innumerable times, so it is surprising to me that I have only recently started to pay attention to what lies within the Howe Sound. I am not sure exactly how I came up with the idea of paddlingContinueContinue reading “Bowyer Island Circumnavigation”

Beaver Town: Epic Morning, Epic Evening
Saturday, June 13, 2020 I made it out for a morning paddling at Burnaby Lake today. I launched from Still Creek near the Clubhouse parking lot at the northeast side of the lake. I then paddled up Still Creek towards the lake and then came across the Cariboo Dam at the headwaters of the Brunette River. Foolishly, I was not aware of the dam. Fortunately, itContinueContinue reading “Beaver Town: Epic Morning, Epic Evening”
Point Grey: Paddle Troubles
Sunday, June 7, 2020 Trevor, my brother, and I set out for an early morning paddle. Perhaps it was a bit too early as when we arrived at the eastmost parking lot at Spanish Banks the gate was still closed (if you ever have wondered how Spanish Banks got its name it is not just as simple as theContinueContinue reading “Point Grey: Paddle Troubles”

Still Creek: Adventure’s Origin
Saturday, May 16, 2020 Legend has it that one day while playing basketball at Riverfront Park a man emerged from the Fraser River travelling on a stand up paddleboard (SUP). This man asked the basketball players if he could join in their game. They accepted, and as they played, the obvious topic of this man’s fascinating mode of transportationContinueContinue reading “Still Creek: Adventure’s Origin”
Westham Island: Swimming in the Fraser
Saturday, May 9, 2020 My eldest brother’s place has the Fraser River just outside of his backyard so he’s paddled that section many times. I have paddled it a few times so lately we have been keen to explore different parts of the Fraser River. I have previously paddled around the northern arm so IContinueContinue reading “Westham Island: Swimming in the Fraser”
First Paddle of 2020
Friday, April 24, 2020 So I am not working and have a little bit more energy and free time on my hands. I decide to break out the inflatable SUP (Blackfin Model XL) that my wife got me last summer for my birthday. I used it once after getting it but then the weather becameContinueContinue reading “First Paddle of 2020”
Introducing I SUP Explore
A few weeks ago while doing a solo paddle down the Fraser River I came up with the idea of starting a blog. It is something that I had been mulling around in my head for some time in various forms but I had never had a topic that I felt was worth sharing. TheContinueContinue reading “Introducing I SUP Explore”
