Prerequisites: Completed our ‘Kayak Basics’ course (see above) or equivalent. Not sure? Give us a call.

The best way to learn paddleboarding is to get out there and mess about.  But there are definite skills and tricks of the trade that make your efforts far more rewarding.  This overview of the sport will get you well-grounded in all the things you need to know to paddle well and quickly.

Women On Water

White Squall welcomes you to an evening of social & stand-up paddling. Join us, right after the work day for appetizers & refreshments.

Canoe tandem or solo, we’d love to get you started or further develop your skills. You can craft your own lesson, be it a simple introduction to tandem paddling or the mastery of solo canoeing. Please contact us with your needs and dates and we’ll take it from there (subject to staff, vehicle, & boat availability).

Kids playing on water with kayaks & paddleboards learn really fast, and have a blast doing it. Join us for a fun evening session – a total riot on the water!

Bring your own picnic lunch for your family, and we’ll make sure there’s time for swimming in the crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay. We want the children to have a good time, so the emphasis will be on paddling at their pace.
