Paddling Community

We at OutdoorsNB Inc believe that the best way to enjoy your purchase is to paddle with others. It is also the safest way to paddle, especially if you join a Paddle Canada/Canoe Kayak NB Affiliated club that will provide you with coaching, guided outings, activities and social events.

We have been working very hard since OutdoorsNB's inception to help build a safe and fun local paddling community by getting involved in this community. Jeremy and Darby became Paddle Canada Instructors in 2013, Jeremy has been involved with the Fundy Paddlers Club since 2014 and with CKNB since 2015. We hope the community continues to grow well into the future!
