The Easy Rider has finished its indoor Stand Up Paddle demos season.
A big Thanks to everyone who made it out to try out the fantastic sport of SUP.
From January through May we had over 250 people try Stand Up Paddling in the comfort of inside the West Edmonton Mall Waterpark.
We now move outdoors for June / July and August. Watch this site for the dates and times for our next demo.
We get comments from people in the store all the time that can not believe the SELECTION of Stand Up Paddleboards that we have in stock.
I have always strived to offer the best selection of SUP’s (and all other sports we carry).
For those of you that like to shop from your couch – here is a listing of the 181 different SUP boards we have IN STOCK right now.
Yes – you read correctly – 181 different boards. That is a bigger selection that any other shop in Canada by far, and most likely in North America.
Add in the fact that we have the most knowledgeable staff, and there is no reason to go anywhere else.
We also ship boards all across Canada – give us a call 780-413-4554
The warm weather is finally here – now is the time to get a board!
*Note – we will sell out of many of these boards in the next few weeks – act now to make sure you get the board you want!
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN at The Easy Rider.
Easy Rider is super stoked to be bringing you the first ever “Battle of the Paddle” style Stand Up Paddleboard race.

Battle of the Paddle style races involve a beach start, turns around buoys, and are multiple laps.
