Why Stand Up Paddleboarding?At Breathe Athletic we discovered that stand up paddleboarding (SUP) is a fantastic way to get out on the water. I started with relaxing floats in the evening, then tried SUP yoga, recently a touring holiday on Quadra and possibly surfing next...! Anyone with a reasonable sense of balance can stand up and paddle. To get started all that is needed is an adventurous spirit, add water and a board! For those lucky enough to live in the Pacific Northwest all of these can be found close at hand. What nicer way can there be to explore our local habitat... |

Choice of Paddle BoardI started by renting a SUP from local outfitters experimenting with their different boards. I quickly realised what I was looking for in a board of my own. Then I discovered Paiwen! We are delighted to be affiliated with them, please mention us when purchasing your board :) They are beautiful boards, carefully designed in Vancouver for women, a good fit with breathe athletic's culture. |

What to Wear Stand Up PaddleboardingBreathe Athletic wants you to look and feel your best! Most of our Supplex clothes can be worn for SUP, but I love to wear my Teekis. They have been tried and tested on a recent 3 day expedition, afterwards my Teekis still felt comfortable and retained their shape. |
