Paddle Boards is stoked to announce the start of our new youth SUP development
program, the Fraser Valley Rippers. This program is designed to get more of our
young people on the water and enjoying our environment. The focus of the
program will be on developing proper paddling skills and techniques, water
safety skills and decision making, and environmental awareness. There are two
options within the program, each designed to cater to the needs, goals and ages
of interested individuals.
Option 1: -less competitive with a focus on fun paddling
and skill/strength development
- 10
sessions, meeting once a week for 1.5 hours (Saturdays)
-ages 8-12
Cost: $200 plus GST includes board,
paddle, life jacket, leash rental ($150 plus GST with own gear)
Option 2: -more competitive with a focus on
race specific paddling skills and fitness
-21
sessions, meeting twice a week for 3 hours total (Wednesdays and Saturdays)
plus 8 Cultus Lake SUP Series races
-ages 10-16
(flexible based on sign-up)
Cost: $400 plus GST includes board,
paddle, life jacket and leash rental, as well as the $10 entrance fees for the
8 Cultus Lake SUP Series races ($300 plus GST with own gear). Sibling
Special – in an effort to help
lower costs for those families with more than one active kid, the first
enrolled will be full price, second will be 20% off and third will be 30% off
(any more than that and we can chat!).
I am a
Paddle Canada SUP instructor for flatwater, river, surf and touring skills, and
hold safety certifications in swift water rescue and a wilderness first aid.
Ideally, I would like to see this program grow and be able to offer the
paddlers involved opportunities to further develop their paddling skills in the
river, surf and touring environments.
I also
believe paddle boarding is a great way for families to enjoy the outdoors
together. Many parents are already involved in paddling and may be looking to
improve their own skills and paddling fitness as well. Because of this, parents
will be 100% welcome to come and paddle with their kids during the training
sessions.
Looking
forward to getting your kids (and possibly yourselves) out on the water!
