About us
Welcome! This is a new group (launched February 2026) for 45+ people who want to enjoy great events and meet old and new friends in a relaxed, no-drama environment. It's run by experienced Meetup organizers. Check us out! No group fee due for the first three months and only $10 CAD/year after that.
Our organizers bring their knowledge and enthusiasm from hosting popular, successful events in various other meetup groups, including the usual fun things (dinners, coffees, movies, walks, games, book discussions) as well as the less typical, like dancing to live music, cooking lessons, scooter tours, midnight kayaking under the full moon, Whitecap watch parties, and happy hours at high-end venues.
A note on the group's annual fee: We very much appreciate if you choose to pay the annual fee promptly upon joining, but also completely understand that you might want to take some time to check out a few of our events first. You have three months to pay from the date you’re approved to join. Payment options are via e-mail transfer or cash (in person). You’ll receive info about where to send the e-transfer when you’re approved to join.

YodelRenting SUP: I have not found a good place to rent from.
If you rented one from Rocky Point, you would be looking at at least a 3 hour minimum, Time wasted in travel from Buntzen and back. Expensive.
Best if you have your own SUP and all the gear. You must bring a life jacket. To show Park Rangers you have one.MEC Vancouver has some to rent: Rent early. I will look at the weather 3 days before and decide if we go.

Its a lot of work to bring them. I would charge $20 for my effort,
Have not decide who I will offer them to. If friends do not wish to go out, I then would have one or two available. Will see as date becomes closer.
I have one large and one for a person under 120lbs. 4" thick board. Not as stable for larger person.Meeting spot: Buntzen Dock, push pin on map should be in the correct location.
