Why did you choose TAIGA?
It’s a high-quality, Quebec company that’s made to last, and accessible. To try it is to love it!
The Awen Air 10’0 inflatable board is my favourite – it's wide and stable enough to do SUP yoga, but one day I hope of owning the same board, but a rigid one. The electric pump also makes my life that much easier and I quite enjoy the mini safety belt.
What I like about paddleboarding is that it can be sport/demanding while also being chill. It gives me access to places I can’t see anywhere else but on a board. It’s a great way to conect with your surroundings! I consider it a very calming passion of mine. A friend of mine introduced it to me 4 years ago and I’ve been in love ever since!
Your favourite paddleboarding spots?
I can’t say my favourite spots... it’s a secret! 😉
Bonaventure River, Boucherville Islands, Cherry River Marshes, Beauport Lake, and Rivière Rouge. There’re so many great places! Every lake and every river have their own challenge and I love discovering new places every time.
