SUP Tips for Families

Norm Hann • July 25, 2017

Both Jen and I love getting out with our son Kiel on the local waterways, specifically the new Sea to Sky Marine Trail on Howe Sound, right here in Squamish. Kiel absolutely loves being on the paddleboard with us and travelling to campsites that are nearby. The sup provides and amazing vantage point for children to view the world from. We have been paddleboarding with Kiel since he was a baby. A number of people have asked what type of systems and concerns we have when padding with children. Here are a few pointers that Paddle Canada Instructor, Tina Currie and I put together to help keep you and your family safe while you are out paddleboarding with your family.

Thanks to Healthy Family Expo for connecting with us for the interview. Here is the link for the article.

I’m thrilled to be back in the Maldives, eagerly anticipating our paddle surf adventure in 2027. This marks my third journey with Moon Tours, a company that has been delivering exceptional experiences in the Maldives for over a decade, catering to travelers in search of a unique surfing experience in one of the most stunning locations on the planet.

As I look back on my previous trips, a few key insights from these surf excursions truly stand out.
