hoe he'e nalu

Or standup paddle surfing, is one of the newest sports to emerge from Hawaii. This sport has only recently made its way across the world, though it has deep roots in Hawaii's surfing community, stretching further back than the 1960's. This summer was the first year I witnessed this strange and enticing sport here in Canada. You can't help but to be drawn towards it. Its a great upper body workout, requiring balance and co-ordination to ensure you stay dry.




Tropical North, a store here in Barrie, Ontario now rents out boards and teaches paddle boarding lessons! This craze is picking up and should definitely be one of your activities next summer. If you're here in barrie, rates are low at $50 dollars for a full day lesson and $40 dollars for a half day. Those who are familiar with the sport can even purchase their rental equipment at discounted prices, a great money saver.
