New at Surf Culture Canada for Summer 2009
Stand Up Paddleboarding is a fun, new emerging sport in the world and our area, and we are excited to introduce group "Discover Stand Up Paddleboarding" lessons, to share the stoke of this new sport. We are carrying Imagine Surfboards lineup of paddleboards and have them to demo and eventually purchase. Call 519-919-7907 for pricing info or to book a lesson.
Whether you would like to give Stand Up Paddleboarding a try for the first time, or if you are already hooked, and would like to go on longer paddles, the best way is to book one of our new packages. Our qualified and experienced instructors will help you learn this unique sport, and we are certain that you will have a great time!
No experience is needed for the "Discover Stand Up Paddleboarding" lesson.
A stand up paddle board, and paddle, will be provided. In colder conditions a wetsuit and boots may be necessary (included in price of lesson).
The best way to learn is to begin on flat water. Our lessons will be held on the calm waters of beautiful Mitchell's Bay. Lessons are open to paddlers of all ages and abilities. Why not try something new this year?
In our introductory group lesson you will learn everything from beach, wind and weather conditions, board and paddle selection, how to carry your board and entry into the water, paddling techniques, basic safety and rescue techniques. Stand Up Paddling helps with your core balance, posture and is a great workout. With our instruction you will be having fun paddling our beautiful coastline and totally stoked on your very first lesson.

Once you have mastered the basics why not enrol on one of our guided Bay and River tours. Depending on the conditions and tides we will take you on a short cruise from Dover Shores Beach to the islands offshore of Mitchell's Bay or up the beautiful lower reaches of the Sydenham River. The views are stunning and there are many opportunities to spot magnificent bird life in the marshs. To enrol on this course you must have completed our “Discover Stand Up Paddleboarding” course or have previous experience.
