I love exploring new places to paddleboard, so I created Paddle the PNW (Pacific Northwest) to share new places to SUP and help others get out on the water.
Happy paddling!

Welcome to Paddle the PNW!
​
Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) is so much more to me than just connecting with the all the beautiful places in the Pacific Northwest. I fell in love with SUP because of the sports versatility. Every time I go out, it's a different experience, I've gone crabbing and fishing off my SUP, attempted yoga, tried a 4 person board, learnt how to SUP surf, taught my 60lb dog who can't swim to come for a ride, competed in several races, and have gone on many overnight adventures with my hammock and tiny stove packed in dry bags.
I love getting out and exploring new places so I created this guide to share where I've been so far in hopes to inspire others who are just getting into paddle boarding. At first I was a bit hesitant about sharing my favourite places with the internet, but I strongly believe "You only care about what you know about".
​
This website is all about where to go and how to get started with SUP.
​
Happy exploring!
