Stand Up Paddle Boarding Lessons
With its protected waters, many shallow coves and charming islands, Antigonish Harbour is a great place to hone your paddle-boarding skills. We are currently in the planning phase of SUP programming.
The ABC does not own any SUP boards, we highly encourage interested participants to reach out to The Antigonish County Recreation webpage as they are a great resource for borrowing SUP boards and other recreational equipment.
If you would like to receive emails about upcoming SUP events, please consider becoming an ABC club member. New members are always welcome: Please click here for membership information.
