The January Blues…and the Blue mind.

Mental health is important and we are here to help.
Research has showed that being near water creates “mildly meditative state we fall into when near, in, on, or underwater.” When you see water, hear water, or even think about water, it triggers a response in your brain and immediately makes you feel calmer.

Send us a message if you like to get started on the water, tour, lesson, or just a companion in this time of year.

It’s been 14 days since the SUP THROWDOWN and we wanted to take this time to thank our crew ( .dev .coastandcoffee .moore111 ) for keeping the event safe and fun. The event couldn’t have happened without you. We also want to thank the companies that donated draw prizes ( ) Thank you for being amazing hosts for the WOD and a huge thanks to for capturing so many smiles. @ Sunset Beach (strand i Kanada, British Columbia, lat 49,28, long -123,14)

How awesome is to be able to use your health and fitness for a good cause and raise money for an awesome charity. Together we donated $1400 to the Black Health Alliance. Black Health Alliance is a community-led registered charity working to improve the health and well-being of Black communities in Canada. Thank you to all the supporters, athletes, coaches, photographers and especially Dynasty Weightlifting for being an amazing host for the WOD.

Event Two (Run)

Holding a rubber band between you and your partner, you will run along the Sea Wall to Sunset Beach. You must not let go of the rubber band until the run has been completed. To avoid over crowding the Sea Wall and to maintain physical distancing, the run will also be done in heats. Each heat will start 5 minutes apart. You will be guided to the start line. Rubber bands are included (-:

(Once all 3 heats have reached the finish line we will move onto the final event)



Final Event (SUP)

The SUP event is a relay event. (You go, I go.) Partner "A" will be at the starting line with the board and paddle. At the sound of the horn Partner "A" jumps onto to the board and will paddle an easy to follow course to a designated buoy and back to the beach and run through a chicane with paddle in hand while Partner "B" repositions the board. Once Partner "A" has completed a very short sprint through the chicane, he or she will hand over the paddle to Partner "B" and Partner "B" will then paddle the same lap. There will be a minimum of 4 laps per team. Exact number of laps will be determined at the time of the event to a maximum of 6 laps per team. The final lap is completed by Partner "B" by running though the chicane one final time.
