UBC Adventure | First-Time SUP at Jericho Beach 🏄♀️🐇
📍 Jericho Beach (just 15 mins from UBC!) 🚌 Getting There: From UBC Exchange, take bus 84/44/4 (4 stops), then walk through a magical forest path (watch for goose poop! 💩). 🚣 Water Sports Galore: • SUP, kayaking, sailing, jet skis (varies by rental company) • Pro tip: Some shops charge less in-person than online! 👙 What to Wear/Bring: ✔ Quick-dry clothes or swimwear (you might swim unexpectedly!) ✔ Sunglasses/hat (sunset glare is REAL until 8PM ☀️) ✔ Water shoes (slippery forest trail + beach goose landmines) ✔ Life jacket (safety first… unless you’re into boat collisions 🚤💥) ✔ Phone waterproof bag ($6 to rent—worth it!) 🚻 Facilities: • Changing rooms + toilets (but showers? Members only 😅) 🌊 The Vibe: North America’s chill energy got me doing wild things—like falling off my SUP (in shallow water, thankfully!). The bunnies + geese were adorable 🥰, and paddling into the bay offered unbeatable skyline views. ✨ Why You’ll Love It: ✔ Beginner-friendly (even if you wipe out) ✔ Cheap thrills (SUP rentals from ~$25/hr) ✔ Instant vacation mode (saltwater therapy!) #JerichoBeach #SUPAdventures #UBCLife #PaddleBoardFail #WaterSports #VanSummer #BeachVibes #FirstTimeSUP #GooseAlert #BunnySighting
