Now is the Time!

Even though there is a ton of snow on the ground – now is the time to get your new SUP for this coming summer.

We have a great selection of boards in stock now, with limited number of last years boards as well as many 2011 models.

February is “Free Storage & Delivery” month – meaning if you get your board by Feb. 28 – we will store it in our warehouse until the snow and ice are  gone and then deliver it to you – free of charge.

Stop by or give us a call at 780-413-4554

Minus 25 and snow deliveries.

2011 Paddle season opener!

I was just down in California to see next winters Volcom snowboard clothes, and managed to get in 6.9 km paddle in Newport harbor.
What a fantastic feeling to get back on the water.

Got to use Jim Terrell’s personal – prototype race paddle.  Super cool new design – Jim truly is the mad scientist of the SUP paddle world.

Thanks to all those who made it possible for this Canuck to paddle in non frozen water.
Volcom for getting me to SoCal.
Jim and Elizabeth at Quickblade for the paddle and allowing Tommy to take me paddling.
Tommy Holbrook for being my paddle guide and driving me to and from paddling.
And to Tom Holbrook for letting me use his board – even though he didn’t know I used it!
