There is always a chance you may fall in the water so consider what fabric your clothes are made from – quick dry is best NO COTTON!

I recommend ROXY Outdoor Fitness products as well as Lululemon ‘run items’.

• Cell phone
• Camera – unless waterproof
• Expensive sunglasses
• Watch
• Pretty much anything you do not wish to donate to Davie Jones’ Locker!

*Stand Up Paddle Vancouver and its instructors are NOT responsible for lost or stolen items while on the water or left in vehicles.

• Towel
• Change of clothes
• An adventurous spirit

Note: Your own Equipment is required for White Rock – Board, Paddle, PFD, Whistle and Leash. Contact us for equipment options.

A wetsuit is NOT required for this activity between June-September.

If you own a wetsuit and feel you will be cold on/in the water you are welcome to wear one.

*Wetsuits are NOT rented or provided by Stand Up Paddle Vancouver.

Stand Up Paddle Vancouver will provide you with a SUPYoga Anchor to take on the water with you. When we have found the ideal place to set up to practice on the water, you will be instructed to lower your anchor and set up for an awe-inspiring view for your yoga practice!

*SUPYoga Anchors are made by COLD SURF in Tofino, BC Canada and can be purchased from Stand Up Paddle Vancouver.

ALL participants must be able to swim; what this means is you must be comfortable enough that if you fell off your board you would be able to make it back to your board and get back on.

A Canadian Coast Guard approved PFD (Personal Floatation Device) will be provided to you for your lesson as well as a Whistle. 

Transport Canada requires every Stand Up Paddler to have a PFD & Whistle on their board when paddling.
