What You Need to Paddle in the Cold 🥶
❄️Winter paddling is a unique and rewarding experience, but it requires a lot more gear and careful preparation.
Here’s what you need to know before heading out:

🧤Gear Up:
Gear is the reason you can paddle in cold weather. While it can be an investment, it’s essential for safety and comfort. I prefer a drysuit for its versatility as it allows for layering and keeps you dry. Don’t forget neoprene gloves, boots, a foam vest PFD, and a warm hat!

🧭 Plan Ahead:
Cold-weather paddling requires more preparation. Icy conditions can complicate everything from packing to launching, so leave extra time for set-up, always check your gear before heading out, and head out with a pal or tell someone your plan.

📋 Risk Management:
This isn’t the season for beginners. Winter paddling comes with increased risks, so preparing for all situations is crucial. Always paddle within your limits and have a safety plan in place.

💧Know Your Waters:
Open water can be hard to find in winter. Large lakes or windy areas are more likely to stay ice-free, but those conditions can also make paddling tricky.

⏰ Be Patient and Flexible:
Winter paddling requires waiting for the right moment. A calm, clear day is a rarity, but it’s worth it. Keep in mind, that your outing might be short; even 30 minutes can be an adventure.

💙Winter paddling isn’t easy, but the solitude, crisp air, and stunning ice landscapes make it one-of-a-kind.

It's not fall yet but time to plan ahead if you want to see the fall colours!

The crisp air and morning frost that September brings get many Ontarians excited for the arrival of fall colours. And who can blame us? We would argue that Ontario is the most breathtaking place to enjoy autumn in all its stunning glory. If you’re planning a trip to take in the colours of the seas...

Heading into the backcountry on my paddle board this weekend to explore eastern Algonquin Park 🏕️✨

I’m looking forward to spending time out in nature, pushing myself (a lot more portages this trip), exploring a new area (Barron Canyon!) and enjoying a digital detox.
Have an awesome weekend full of adventures!
See you next week ✌🏼

It was a pleasure partnering with Discover Brantford and working with my partner Tony Felgueiras Photography I highly recommend paddling the Grand River. Remember, it's moving water so be sure to wear a quick-release leash and use a river fin when paddle boarding!
