At Jericho Beach Kayak, we believe in supporting and fostering a great community that everybody can be part of.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler, we’ve got programs that cater to all. We welcome folks from different backgrounds, genders, body types, experiences, abilities, and walks of life.
A great way for both new paddlers and experienced paddlers alike to get on the water and connect with others are our Social Paddles such as our Jericho Social Paddle, BIPOC Paddles, Pride Paddles, and Women on Water Paddles.
We hope you can join us, and please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions!
Jericho Social Paddle
Friday Evenings (May – September)
Do you want to paddle together with others? Connect with other paddlers? Exchange ideas, experience, tips and tricks? Socialize and make new friends?
Join us each Friday evening for our Jericho Social Paddle.
Anybody (16+) is welcome. Most paddlers have some experience but newcomers are very welcome.
Women on Water
Tuesday Evenings (May – September)
Women on Water is a wonderful event on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer where women* who are 16+ of all paddling abilities come together for a relaxed, semi-guided paddle.
This is a great opportunity to connect with other paddlers, socialize, make new friends and just go for a paddle together.
BIPOC Paddle
Every second Wednesday of the month
We are proud to provide a safe and accessible space for BIPOC folks to come paddling.
Join us and other BIPOC-identifying folks for a relaxed 2h paddle from Jericho Beach and enjoy the sunset from the water.
No previous kayaking experience is required. Our guides will make sure everybody is comfortable in their kayaks and on the water. We are looking forward to having fun as a community.
Pride Paddle
June & August
Celebrate Pride with us!
We are hosting two Pride Paddles every year! One at the end of June to celebrate Pride Month and one in late July or early August for Vancouver Pride Week!
Join us and other LGBTQ2SAI+ identifying folks for a relaxed 2h paddle from Jericho Beach. No previous kayaking experience is required. Our guides will make sure everybody is comfortable in their kayaks and on the water. We are looking forward to having a fun time as a community.
