About Us

Hi I'm Jean

When I first started paddle boarding, I fell right in love with the sport. It all started in Windermere Lake and the Columbia Wetlands... and I just couldn't get enough of that joyous free feeling of standing up  on the water - paddling and gliding, taking in nature's beauty all around me. I started introducing all my friends, and then connected with Paddle Canada to become a  certified SUP instructor so that I could share this passion with the world. I've a particular soft spot for creating learning sessions for women-only and 50+ adults so that everyone can feel they're in a safe and supportive environment. 

Melding together my passion for paddle boarding, love of the great outdoors, deep respect for nature, and a career in environmental education and community engagement...  Experience SUP was born. 

My goal is to create an accessible, safe and welcoming place for anybody to try paddle boarding. Whether you're looking to experience SUP for the first time or you want to increase your confidence and skills, I'd love to have you join in. You'll have fun while learning because paddle boarding is truly a joyous experience!

I value the beautiful land and amazing water resources we have here in Alberta, and to help with conservation so that our children and our children's children may continue to live and play on this land, 5% of Experience SUP's profits will be donated to Nature Canada, one of our country's oldest national conservation charities. Since 1939 Nature Canada has been connecting Canadians to nature, trying to instill in them a respect for nature, an appreciation for its wonders, and the will to act in nature’s defense. The organization has helped protect over 110 million acres of parks and wildlife areas in Canada and countless species!
