iSUP
The iSUP program sponsored by SurfSUP, Starboard & Xcel is a program designed to offer the opportunity to youth who may not otherwise have the chance to try stand up paddle boarding. This promotes a healthy lifestyle and allows for them to grow socially and become more connected with their local water environment.
Individuals who are involved in the iSUP program will receive a basic water safety overview in their surrounding area, and the chance to explore it doing stand up paddle boarding. They will receive instruction on how to get on their board, how to paddle paddle & maneuver their board, self recovery & water safety.
The iSUP program will be offered on the following dates:
| June 4 | Comox | |
| June 18 | Victoria | |
| July 9 | Parksville | |
| August 6 | Ucluelet |
At the end of their program each group will be given the opportunity to apply to receive an iSUP package including Paddle boards to start a club in their community. If you would like to apply to have the iSUP program come to you please contact us, or check out our Facebook page for more details.
