Get ready for your season of paddling with our three days of fun, learning and adventure as we explore the spectacular coastlines of east Vancouver Island and tour the Salish Sea! This touring and training camp is a unique opportunity to gain coastal paddling experience, build confidence on the ocean and expand your paddling horizons. 

Each day you gain new knowledge as we guide you through a blend of ocean safety, coastal touring, and stand up paddle skills development. And each day you will gain experience paddling in a wide variety of conditions as we tour and explore different locations along our coast and the Salish Sea.  

We center this experience out of the Comox Estuary, one of the most productive natural ecosystems in the Salish Sea and an area rich in First Nations history. White beaches, intriguing islands and rocky headlands are set against the mountainous backdrop of Vancouver island and the spectacular Coast Ranges of mainland BC. It is a great place to test and practice your new found skills and knowledge, gently stretch your comfort zone, and gradually gain experience and confidence. 

Tour the Salish Sea is for SUP paddlers with basic experience who wish to improve their paddling, safety and decision making skills, and gain confidence and experience navigating in a wide variety of coastal conditions. Throughout our three days together, we guide you through a progression of effective paddling techniques, paddling confidently in wind and waves, navigating ocean currents, and understanding how to self rescue. We gradually increase our time and distance on the water throughout our three days while enjoying the incredible sup touring on the Salish Sea.
