Sunrise Wildlife Paddle Boarding Adventure

[@robgrubb420]

you are funny AF love the attitude you bring, let's GO on a paddle adventure!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

lol thanks! Just being myself and having fun out in nature! 🦫😜

[@clarissadelafuente4442]

I love these "come along with me" style videos! It helps me see Hamilton from a completely different perspective! So much fun!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

I’m so glad! There will be more adventures videos for you to come along on. Seeing a different part of Hamilton was one of the best things when I got a paddleboard!

[@tonyf_fitness]

Getting up early is ALWAYS worth the sunrise!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Yes! But so challenging when that alarm goes off!

[@4smolpawz]

The shot of the Mink was so cool! Excellent hat today 👌🏻

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks for coming on the adventure with me! I couldn’t believe I got that close to the mink! And the hat, 👌🏽🦫 I was saving it for a morning sunrise with my beaver friends 😆

[@rolandlouis1482]

Génial 👍 j’adore tes vidéos 🤔beautiful sunrise 🥳

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Merci beaucoup 🙏🏼 Le lever du soleil sur l'eau est le meilleur !

[@KathieMcLaughlin]

Nice shot of that mink! I feel like I was right along with you this morning…even though I was asleep at that ridiculous hour 💕

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks! I was blown away how close I got to the mink! My board hit the side of the bank before it ran away! Glad you came on the adventure with me!

[@melissae7445]

What a lovely video! I loved your enthusiasm and your adorable beaver hat-it made the whole adventure even better. I’m so excited because I just got my first paddle board, and seeing your morning paddle has me even more eager to get out there. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place and taking us along!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! Excited for you 🤙🏼 Do you have a spot you want to check out first?

[@melissae7445]

Thanks for asking. I’m going to take it out wherever/whenever I can around home, but I got the board in anticipation for a roadtrip from Idaho thru Canada and to Alaska this summer. I’m researching places to paddleboard and camp along my route pretty much daily now.

[@PaddleAdventurer]

@@melissae7445 wow that sounds like an epic adventure! Plus having a paddle board will be perfect the a road trip. How long is your trip going to be?

[@edwardjski]

this is the best. So funny, so animated, so excited to be out. It makes me want to get out there. You have a quiet rock and roll intensity. lots of fun to watch. Thanks for posting! A morning coffee float... brilliant! And now I know about Great Lakes Great Responsibility! Thanks for that as well.

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words, Ed! Nothing like morning sunrise coffee on the water! 🌅☕️

[@edwardjski]

@@PaddleAdventurer Sometimes it's easy to get complacent and just stay home "there'll be another beautiful sunrise TOMORROW" -right? It's important to get out today. And if not the sunrise, there's probably a sunset to catch. Just ordered a couple of paddle boards for my wife and I and kayaks for the kids. Can't wait to get out on them!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

@@edwardjski Yes!!! That's beautiful and so true. Congratulations on the new purchase. Have the best time out on the water this summer with the family! 🙌🏼☀

[@edwardjski]

@@PaddleAdventurer Saw two muskrats and a deer the first time out!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

@@edwardjski that’s so awesome! Nature and seeing wildlife is the best 🙌🏼

[@barry4fish19]

You’re awesome. I do this with a kayak, but you should get polarized sunglasses with the high transmission index (let’s more light in, better for low light) and fitted with a lanyard to prevent loss - you will be amazed at what you will see under water!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks for watching and the kind comment, Barry! I actually have prescription sunglasses that are polarized (heart shaped too!). Just didn't pack them for this adventure. They really do help with sun reflection on the water!

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Decaf... shit indeed!! Once my electric pump arrives I NEED to do some sunrise lounge boarding. Really appreciate your message about exploring our own backyard. I loved the mink, thanks for the great episode :)

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Coffee is a must ☕️ for early morning paddles! What type of electric pump did you get? I actually have the same umbrella company (iRocker) as your board. Thanks for the kind words and great feedback! I’m so glad you enjoyed the adventure! And I can’t believe I got that close to a mink. Thought of you since you were the first one to guess it from one of my earlier adventures! 🙌🏼

[@nahummojica771]

I love your river! It’s looks so calm. Maybe you just pick days where there is little to no wind! I need to find a body of water like that near where I live. 😊

[@PaddleAdventurer]

It’s a beauty spot! Perfect for a relaxing morning cruise with my coffee and the beavers! I always check the winds and weather before headed out but this area is protected which helps. Fully recommend finding a nice calm spot for your mornings!

[@ChasingQuiet]

I just started paddle boarding this summer, and got my own board late September. I'm in Toronto and stumbled on your content when looking for Ontario SUP info. Love your stuff, and your vibe. And now i wish i got a Red board!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Yeah! Congratulations on the board and new hobby! 🙌🏼 Thanks for the kind comment. I'm so glad you're loving the content! Put Tobermory on your list for next summer! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXndfnZjrriMq9Usi=0kmcWnSbv2W9LviG Lion's Head is also an awesome spot to paddle too! paddleadventurer.com/lions-head-ontario-paddling/

[@SUPmidlife]

Awesome video!!! Love your enthusiasm. The electric pump is a game changer. Shame you missed the beaver charge lol.

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks so much for the kind feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Fully agree on the electric pump! 🙌🏼

[@ryanfox2488]

If you can bring it out on the water or trail then you can bring it back to dispose of it properly. It's much lighter on the way back so shouldn't be a problem for everybody!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Exactly! 👏🏼🗑️

[@brandondonovan9924]

Just subscribed i love this video and your Tik Toks!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words and support! 🤙🏽

Donde compraste ese vaso para el té o café ¿

[@PaddleAdventurer]

¿Estás preguntando por L'il Sucker o el Yeti?

[@Gearu1]

I live in Stoney Creek and just bought a paddle board. Can you launch from peer four, then paddle around to Coot's? I am looking for places to paddle and luanch points. Binbrook conservation area.... what time of the year does the paddle boarding season normally start with no wet suite?

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks for watching! You can launch from Pier 4 but it will be busy in the summer with boats etc. For that area I'd suggest launching at Bayfront. There is a boat ramp and floating docks. You can get to Cootes from this area but there is a small portage over the fish way. Check out the video for best spot to launch for Cootes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6axeYGklp2Ve9U I also have a few Hamilton paddle spot location details on my blog. paddleadventurer.com/paddle-locations-posts/ Binbrook is a great spot to go same with Christy Lake although later in the year it can be pretty shallow. I'd say the shallower locations will be warm enough in the next month or so but it totally depends on the weather. Hope this helps!

[@kaylacutts]

I want to try this so badly, but I'm nervous about falling in.

[@PaddleAdventurer]

You totally should try paddle boarding! Falling in is half the fun of it. Go out this summer on a warm calm day and have fun! Check out this video an others for tips! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4GyY4Z8rcuprsUsi=LMX-hbma8J0w79QH

[@ogcontraband]

You are so cute

[@PaddleAdventurer]

lol thanks!

[@ogcontraband]

@@PaddleAdventurer Ever check out Chautauqua Lake? I think that's my next adventure. Last weekend was pymatuning

[@PaddleAdventurer]

No I haven't! I haven't done too much US paddling beyond Florida and. California. But they both look like great spots!

[@ogcontraband]

@@PaddleAdventurer If you're interested in checking out Chautaqua let me know I can bring my recorder out on the lake and play a lake song for your adventure video. This week the wind looks too strong though. I'm probably going to "busk" that famous ampitheater and put on a reggae show while I'm there hopefully

[@PaddleAdventurer]

@@ogcontraband Thanks for the offer. Have fun and happy adventuring!

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

It is a WARNING not marking anything.

[@PaddleAdventurer]

I don't understand your comment. If you're talking about the beavers slapping their tails it's a way to warn other beavers something is in the area.
