Larsen SUP Adventures - Pure Life Paddle Boards

A Canadian company designing the best value boards on the market since 2012! After 10 years we're altering our course!

I have spent the past decade designing my own boards and offering a variety of SUP programming through my company, Pure Life Paddle Boards. While I have loved every moment of it, being a full time teacher, dad and husband has left me realizing I can't continue to do it all, and do it all well. Moving forward I will be refocusing on offering a wide spectrum of high quality SUP experiences catered t

o help paddlers meet their individual paddling goals and push to set new ones. I still have a few boards available at huge discounts so please check out the shop! I look forward to getting you on the water and experiencing SUP in new, and ridiculously enjoyable ways!

Epic day on the water for a river 2 skills course! This crew pushed their comfort zones, honed their whitewater skills, grew their confidence and had a ton of fun while doing it all. Exactly what these courses are all about!

If you're looking to take your paddling to more dynamic conditions, I still have some space in my May 31st river 1 course as well as my next river 2 on June 13th. Send me a message to get in on the fun!

I am stoked to be hosting a Paddle Canada certified Instructor and Instructor Trainer rollout event this June with Neil Gilson of SUP Bearfoot!

The focus of this rollout is to increase the number of qualified river SUP instructors and instructor trainers in Western Canada, to safely and effectively meet the growing demands for river paddling.

Over the 4-day event, participants will have the ability to work towards the following certifications: River 1 SUP Instructor, River 2 SUP Instructor, River 1 SUP Instructor Trainer and/or River 2 SUP Instructor Trainer.

In a rollout event, regular Paddle Canada prerequisites MAY be waived, provided EQUIVALENT teaching and paddling experience and knowledge can be demonstrated. All participants MUST have these prerequisite teaching and paddling skills PRIOR to the event, and a list of prerequisites can be seen on my website under "upcoming". Any event or registration inquiries can be sent to [email protected] or send me a message here!

The event will take place from June 27th through June 30th, 2026 in Chilliwack, BC. Cost for the event is $450

Love the growth of the local river SUP community!

It has been a privilege getting so many people out paddling on rivers, understanding the risks, dialing skills and having an absolute blast!

Stoked for the levels to have come back up and to get more fall/winter laps in like this last one!

River 2 SUP skills course today! This crew worked their tails off, dialing in skills like their offside forward strokes, S-turns, surfing standing waves and jet ferrying. So much fun! I'm exhausted 😅

This album is affectionately titled "River Fingers." We talk about Power Angle Lean (PAL) all the time on river maneuvers. If that lean is off, the river fingers grab your rail, throw you off balance, and send you for a swim. But if you dial in that lean,it's sooo smooth! (Last photo).
