Winter Paddle Board Experience

Got the paddle itch, even in the middle of winter?

You don't have to head onto Okanagan Lake alone.

The SUPCove Winter Paddle Board Experience is a private 60-minute cold-weather paddle designed for paddlers who already have some paddle boarding experience but would feel more comfortable heading out with an experienced paddler alongside them.

This isn't a long tour or a traditional beginner lesson. We'll spend a short amount of time on shore reviewing winter paddling considerations, conditions, equipment and our plan before heading out together for a short paddle close to shore.

60-Minute Private Experience

Your experience includes approximately 60 minutes total, including our on-shore safety briefing, setup and a short winter paddle.

We'll keep things relaxed, stay relatively close to shore and adjust the paddle to the day's conditions.

What You Need to Bring

Winter paddling requires appropriate cold-weather and cold-water preparation.

Please arrive with:

• Appropriate cold-water exposure protection; a properly fitted wetsuit or drysuit is strongly recommended
• Warm winter layers appropriate for the day's conditions
• Suitable footwear for cold and wet conditions
• Warm change of clothes
• Towel
• Gloves and warm headwear as appropriate

Dress for the possibility of entering the water, not simply for the air temperature.

Weather Restrictions Apply

This experience is offered November through April and is highly weather dependent.

We only operate when conditions are suitable for the experience. Calm water, manageable wind and favourable weather conditions are required. A sunny winter day does not necessarily mean conditions are suitable for paddling.

SUPCove may postpone, reschedule or cancel a Winter Paddle Board Experience when conditions are not appropriate.

Who Is This For?

This experience is intended for people who already have basic paddle boarding experience and want some company and additional confidence getting back onto the water during the colder months.

If you've been looking out at Okanagan Lake all winter thinking, “I really want to paddle, but I don't want to go out there alone,” this experience was made for you.
