$19 for a 2-Hour Stand-up Paddle Board Rental including a Life Jacket and Wetsuit from Windsure Adventure Watersports (a $44 Value)

Today's WagJag is for anyone who feels restricted sitting in a tippy canoe but terrified standing on a wave-carving surfboard. Enjoy an athletic pursuit atop water that's as calming as it is challenging with today's deal from Windsure Adventure Watersports: $19 for a two-hour stand-up paddle board rental including a life jacket and wetsuit (a $44 value).

An effective method for improving core strength and balance, stand-up paddling involves standing on a longboard and navigating the water with an elongated canoe paddle. Stand-up paddling, or "surf-noeing" if you will, has recently become a popular sport in the California surfing community, for both experienced surfers and casual water-sport pursuers alike. A two-hour trip across the still waters at Jericho Beach provides a taste for this smooth, Zen-like workout, plus stunning views of the Vancouver shoreline. For those who get hooked, stand-up paddling boot camp classes where you squat, push up and plank atop the board are available at various times throughout the summer.

Windsure Adventure Watersports is your go-to for outdoor adventure, with on-site amenities including showers, change rooms, lockers and a restaurant serving hot and cold meals to appease beach bunnies' bellies. Summer hours (until August 31) are every day from 8:30am to 8:30pm; inquire with Windsure for shortened hours starting in September.
