Everyone's curious to try Stand-Up Paddling, more commonly know as SUP's and the ORCC introduction program is the perfect starting point. The Ottawa River Canoe Club offers introductory sessions for those both young and young at heart to take on a new challenge.
Whether you just want to give it a try, or perhaps take on a session with a fun and social race to try out your skills, we've got a program for you. Our knowledgeable and experienced instructors will provide practical instruction and a fun and challenging workout, geared to your level of ability, in a small group instruction setting. You'll learn to tackle both flat water and the gentle (and sometimes somewhat challenging!) surf that the Ottawa River can present. Come try it out! We look forward to introducing you PaddleSport's newest passion.

CORESUP - Core strengthening Stand Up Paddling
These five sessions will include a paddling warm-up with a number of on-board exercises that will strengthen the core. Exercises will be core strengthening movements based on Pilates and power yoga. The added challenge here is that all exercises will be performed on a floating platform which will continuously fire all your stabilizers. Stretching and a warm-down will also be an integral part of the session.
Paddlers must have previously attended a WhatSUP session (see above) or have previous SUP experience.
When: TBD
Cost: $110 non-members / $75 ORCC members
