Brittany Parker My Epic Trip to Scotland
Brittany Parker - I love international flying, the coach seats are slightly more comfortable than their domestic flight counter parts. Walking around barefoot, doing squats and crunches, or having a casual beer in the back with a new acquaintance is completely acceptable and doesn't even entice a second glance.
SUPracer How to Follow The World'S Best Paddlers
SUPracer - Our little SUPstagram feature had been innocently hiding in the corner of SUPracer.com for months. I built it as a fun little side project on a slow news day and left it at that.

Deep Cove SUP Gulf Islands Solo Trip: Part 2: 'Paddling'
Deep Cove SUP - This was the last day of Northerly winds so it was perfect for my crossing and my paddle south towards the gap in between North and South Pender. I got a good little push down the coast along North Pender and then I started to feel some current. I paddled close to shore and saw lots of wildlife on this stretch. Throughout the whole trip anyone I came across including animals, were very surprised to see me.
Deep Cove SUP Gulf Islands Solo Trip: Part 3: 'Downwind'
Deep Cove SUP - Read about a solo paddle trip around the Gulf Islands done with the Starboard K15. The paddler did down winders and camped overnight feeling a bit uneasy at the dark woods after having seen red bright eyes staring at him. A peaceful trip which was satisfactory for this person. There is more with Coast Guard forks concerned about this paddler's safety as they enquire about the paddler's quest in paddling solo.
