SUP Bouldering

No better way to see off summer then this perfect combination of fun activities. My first ever experience with Stand-Up Paddle-boarding (aka. "SUP") got mixed in with a little rock climbing, for what I would describe as the best day of the summer for sure. A good friend of mine, Glen Harris of Mountain Life Magazine, was kind enough to take Kyle and myself out to the Bruce Peninsula for  the best intro-day that I could've asked for. Despite a rather cool and cloudy day, the bay was warm, the climbing we found was awesome and you couldn't wipe the smile off my face if you tried. We found a steep cave that we could boulder right off of our boards and riding the huge swells on the down-wind paddle back was amazing!
