Friday Night Social Paddles
Hosted by Pacifica Paddle Sports and Blue Jellyfish SUP Adventures.
This is a chance to connect with the paddling community while enjoying the surrounding scenery of theSalish Sea. We appreciate the ocean by exploring our local waters around the Saanich Peninsula.
From boats to boards, if it paddles you're welcome to get in on the fun. This is a relaxed pace paddle, to keep it beginner friendly. The Social Paddle is led by kayak and SUP guides and instructors, but it is not a formal tour or lesson.
