Boy do we feel the love out here! 💛
Huge shoutout to everyone who has been coming out to paddle and swinging by to say hi! The energy on the water & on-land has been incredible, and we are so grateful for this amazing community!
🎉 We have some massive updates to share with you all, if you haven’t already heard; flyers are around town and we were lucky enough to table at the National Outdoor Rec Conference hosted by the Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals in May and at Superior Porchfest Monday evening to share a significant milestone:
➡Universal Access: Thanks to major team efforts and an awarded matching recreational grant from the City of Superior & Paddle it Forward, we are offering a first-of-its-kind Universal Access program to City of Superior Residents!! 🎉🎉
This ensures every resident has the opportunity to safely access and experience the local watershed and estuary in their own ‘backyard’. This Summer Season, if you haven’t been out yet, there will be fully-sponsored, paddleboard rentals at up to 2-hrs, on-site sessions for City of Superior residents, at North Shore SUP on beautiful Barker’s Island, waiting for you. You just have to call & schedule ☀
💬 What to Know: (it’s all on the Flyer⬇in comments below)
Safety is our first priority; on-land instruction is always provided, all paddling subject to weather conditions, availability, and a required call-ahead to schedule. All Equipment provided (includes regular sized sup & personal flotation device).
âž¡A sincere thank you to all Paddle it Forward members and donors for helping us build capacity, and to the City of Superior and our local & regional partners for their dedication to keeping our community a vibrant, active place to live, and thrive!
➡Our 2026 Season Stickers are in! Next time you paddle the Island with us, make sure to get one. We couldn’t be more stoked, working with fellow paddler, friend and local artist Adam Swanson, Thank you!
➡Check out that signage 🔥 (in pics)
➡This weekend (6/19-20-21) Fri, Sat. & Sun. all look like decent Paddling conditions! See you on the water 😎
➡More massive updates coming, stay tuned…
🎊Cheers to continuing to Paddle it Forward!
