Our longest days of the year call for celebration through SUP yoga, meditation, and campfire connecting in our Lake Edith hub. Pre-registration is encouraged. Cost is $65 per person including all equipment rentals, instruction, SUP floating yoga class, tea, kombucha and campfire snacks provided afterwards.
Floating yoga classes begin running every Saturday at 10:30AM (weather permitting) with each class beginning with a beach warm-up, instruction on anchor use, launching and basic stroke techniques. Class on the water follows and students will be given time to continue relaxing or paddling for 30-minutes after class. There is incredible value in this offering and all levels are welcome as we build the yoga class from the board up with options to remain seated or with hands, knees and feet on the board. Participants should be prepared to fall in the water, although most don’t unless attempting more challenging standing poses. All levels and abilities welcome. Our main goal is to celebrate being on the water.

Footwork and Turning - 1.5 hours - $60 - maximum 8 paddlers
Hosted by Pro SUP Racer Genna Flinkman

The ability to move on your board is an essential skill to SUP. Weather you are paddling in chop, racing, catching a wave, or turning, it all starts with proper foot work. Being stuck to one spot on your board limits what you can do, how you can move your board, and how fast you can go in varying conditions. Plus, no one likes numb feet. Even if you’re a seasoned veteran, it is always important to move back to the basics and improve/add new skills to your skill set.
• Break down into steps the process of moving on your board
• Give you the knowledge and understanding to continue
developing your skills on your own
• Apply those skills to real experiences like turning, foot steering, adjusting board to plane in various conditions, etc.
• Small group size so everyone gets one on one adjustment
• Drills to take home to hone your skills
• Fun environment
*Please feel free to bring your footwork/turning specific questions to class.
Genna is a professional SUP racer and SUP Surfer. Genna has competed for team Canada and on the international stage for two years (Competing in USA, France, Denmark, and Canada). As a racer, she is known as one of the fastest starters, sprinters, and top buoy turners on the water. I specialize in sprinting and technical races that often feature surf and difficult turns.

Paddling is the most basic part of SUP. However, if done incorrectly, it can cause injury and limit your speed and efficiency. Even if you have been paddling for years, small tweaks can make a huge difference to your stroke. Even if you’re a seasoned veteran, it is always important to move back to the basics and improve/ tweak / add new skills to your skill set.
• Look at a the basic stroke and break it down into components
• Practice drills that focus on each part of the stroke
• Lay the foundation of skills so you can practice on your own
• Teach you drills that you can take home and practice
• Teach basic and advanced steering strokes
• Improve the power and efficiency of your stroke
• Small Group size so that each person will get one on one
• Fun and open environment
