SUP FM Podcast: Into the Great Bear: Adventures on Canada's Wild Coast

Just before Christmas I had a chance to sit down with Simon Hutchinson from SUPFM Podcast to chat about paddleboarding and the Great Bear Rainforest. I hope enjoy the episode and you can subscribe to this podcast in the links below. Thanks, Norm

What happens when you trade a safe and secure teaching career, for a life on the wild side.

We sit down with Norm Hann , Canadian expedition paddler, guide, and educator — known for his work in the Great Bear Rainforest and for pioneering multi-day SUP expeditions on Canada's wild coast.

Norm shares his remarkable transformation from a classroom teacher in Ontario to a wilderness guide and advocate for the Great Bear Rainforest. From being adopted into the Raven Clan in Hartley Bay to shaping the early days of stand-up paddleboarding, Norm's story is about courage, connection, and following your calling.

In this episode, Norm shares:

• How leaving a secure career opened the door to purpose and adventure
• What makes the Great Bear Rainforest one of the planet's most magical places
• How his adoption into the Raven Clan shaped his identity and outlook
• The origins of his pioneering SUP expeditions on Canada's west coast
