RUN BY TOFINO LOCALS

Since 1989, we’ve been sharing our lifelong passions for playing in the ocean. We opened our surf shack in 2009 to offer equipment rentals, educational tours and a team of coaches in the hope that we can inspire others to embrace a healthy lifestyle and foster a deeper appreciation for our planet.

We’ve been renting equipment and offering tours and lessons since 2009. We’ve come a long way since running the business out the back of our truck, though the important things have remained! We’re proud to be a small, local company that helps people enjoy water sports and get outdoors! We are passionate and knowledgeable about Tofino, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

"The teacher was patient and empowering. Everyone from my 15-year-old daughter to the young adults and we had a fabulous time. A wonderful experience, that I would highly recommend to every family with a wide age range to please."

Excellent time!

We had a great time with a family lesson, even the old guys managed to get up on their boards! Lots of time in the ocean with great shore instruction. Super location on the beach that we happened to walk by one day..next day the guys were on their boards! Thanks for the experience!

Radical!

As someone with experience in both SUP and surfing, but not the two together, I found that Catherine, Sarah and crew gave just the right amount of instruction along with enough space to make mistakes or be triumphant. Their services are very inclusive, kind, encouraging and comprehensive. It was an absolute delight to be under the learning tree with Catherine Bruhwiler. I look forward to returning for Stand Up Paddleboard Skills Surf 2!

Could not get enough - will be back for more!

Just two of us in the group for SUP surf lesson - apart from the fact it was a gorgeous day Jacob was incredibly thorough in both his on land teaching and on water teaching and demonstrating - he clearly loves what he does and is a first-rate teacher. Thanks for making our week-end even more memorable!

First time SUP, won’t be the last!

Went out on the water from Tofino Botanical Gardens with Sarah. We also had Emma and Brice with us as the group was only made of three. Never SUP’d before left wanting more! Really lovely people, great guidance, beautiful place to take a first paddle!
