After reaching out to them through e-mail, I was told my request for info about lessons was forwarded to a representative from WSUP, a partner company supposedly based somewhere on Toronto Island. Well, I did not hear back after one week so went looking elsewhere. See my 5 star review for Toronto Island SUP. I think the people at Paddleboard Addict need to update their website so that people are not wasting their time.

Thanks to the wonders of the interwebs, I stumbled upon Paddleboard Addict when I was looking for a…read morespot to take an intro class with a group of friends. I had searched initially on Yelp but options came up short (following this review that will no longer be an issue). I connected with business owner Paul and chatted about prices, location, times and dates (the usual). Paul was very laid back and yet totally professional letting me know that he was flexible and totally willing to accommodate us on our day of choice. Making himself readily available by phone or email we confirmed a date and time and only needed to pay for one person in advance to secure the time slot, which I did via e-mail money transfer (oh the joys and conveniences of internet). When the day came, admittedly we were a touch (45 minutes) tardy, however we made sure to let Paul know we'd be running behind. When we finally arrived Paul was waiting for us happy to have us there. We signed some waivers and paid the rest of our balance owing and walked towards the close by community of floating houses (apparently something no longer allowed to be built in Ontario). Paul was a gracious host and professional guide, teaching us the basics of SUP (Stand-up Paddleboard) in minutes and getting us on our way quick. He took us around the marina and into the open water area teaching us about the ecosystem around us, the clarity of the water, and various wildlife present (didn't get to see the Karp or Muskeye he bragged about - probably a good thing). The entire experience was informative, fun, great exercise and a real joy all the way around! We were also fortunate enough that there weren't other bookings that day so Paul ended up taking us out for another 20-30 minutes over the hour we paid for! We all agreed that this was a great experience and would DEFINITELY come back to try! I HIGHLY recommend you give this place a try or at the very least try your hand at SUP! PS - Lake Ontario is ICE COLD - I didn't fall in BUT daaayyummmmm that ISH is C-O-L-D!

We got the mini powerboat Groupon and had a delightful date on the water…read more The staff were polite, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Our original reservation was for 5:30, but I got stuck at work. The staff pushed back our reservation til 7:00 without a problem. They made sure we had all the safety instructions and that we still got our full 90 minutes on the water. A very pleasant customer service experience. The boat itself was a clattering old thing, but it worked fine. We couldn't go very fast, but that was probably for the best as my partner had never driven a boat before. It was a beautiful summer week night, and the lake was full of sailboats, tall ships, kayaks, canoes, paddle-boarders and even planes overhead. It felt like being in a busy city park like Christie Pits or Trinity Bellwoods, but so much more beautiful. We brought burritos and soda with us and had a little water picnic in a hidden nook by the Island, and then we watched the sun go down behind the city skyline. One of the best dates I've ever been on and a thoroughly relaxing experience. I plan to go back and get a bigger boat to cruise around with some girlfriends.

I've rented their small speedboats quite a few times in the past and once this year. The website…read morementions that "Our fleet is in great shape...". Well I haven't come across that fleet yet. I'm not sure why I keep coming back here, if it wasn't for my little nephew, I wouldn't. The boats are crap and not well maintained. Slow speed I can understand but I have yet to sit in one of their F13 motor boats that didn't want to, or that didn't die in the middle of the lake. Last time I rented for an hour, they had to come and get me because they didn't put enough gas. Not bad if everything is working fine but take your cell phone with you in case you get stuck in the middle of the lake! Positive: If you don't have one, you don't require a boating license.

For comparison, this class was mostly SUP focused and no yoga (except a couple downward dogs), where as Toronto Island SUP incoroprated a 30 mins. yoga session. Supgirlz does offer yoga and pilates classes on the board, but if it's your first time with them, you have to book the intro class (90 mins.). The location at Kew Balmy Beach is perfect! You are accessible by transit, but still feel miles away from downtown. The vibe is really peaceful and I lucked out on the day I went as the waters were calm. Meet at the actual address (it's a house on the corner of Hubbard and Maclean). That's where you will have your belongings stored safely, meet up with the group, etc. A couple people were wandering on the beach looking for us -- it can be a bit confusing! Janna was the instructor. She gave clear instructions and oriented us to the boards before going on the water. We had a brief lesson, learning the basics. Then we had an opportunity to pose for some group and individual photos (which they prompty sent to us by email). Then there was about 30 mins. at the end to paddle on your own. They have a variety of boards - hard, foam, inflatable. All in all, this was a really fun activity to do with friends. Nothing says summer like SUP! They even gave us Lara bars at the end of class as a little treat:) Notes: - There are no washrooms at Supgirlz (you would need to use the public ones on the beach, or walk up to Queen St.). - Despite the name, all classes are co-ed!! - Booking is easily done via MindBodyApp - weekend classes fill up, so best to book your board in advance

I booked our Friday evening lesson online with no issues. The lesson is based out of Kew Balmy Beach; we were instructed to meet by a park bench and our instructor showed up early to bring out the boards from a place nearby and to set up. The first-timer lesson started with basic verbal instruction on dry land, then we proceeded onto the water. After the quick on-water lesson, we had free time to play around on our own. They also have sup yoga, socials, etc. Overall, a good place to try SUPing.

We were staying in Brampton, and we were looking for a trail to ride our bikes on. I was looking at…read morethe Peel bike website, and saw this long squiggle across the foot of the escarpment. I suggested doing this trail to Lee, and we drove to the start in Terra Cotta and off we went. There are a variety of surfaces to this trail, mostly crushed stone, sometimes dirt, and occasionally paved. It winds through the countryside, past an abandoned brick factory, through farmlands, suburbs, and forests, as well as a downtown tourist area. If you've ever driven along Highway 10 towards Orangeville, you have seen the blue arched bridge of the trail path. It's part of the Trans Canada Trail, and one of the pavilions is located near Caledon East. The trail is gentle and mostly flat, although there are a couple of road crossings that are steep, probably because a railroad trestle was removed at some point. There's a lot of opportunities for nature watching, particularly because the trail goes through several nature preserves. I saw quite a few chippies and squirrels, as well as orioles, jays and other birds. I only have a couple of complaints: one is that although there are frequent trash cans along the trail, in a couple of places they were overflowing with garbage, implying that it had been a very long time since it had been cleaned up. This was pretty yucky in my opinion, a bit of a disappointment. The other complaint was that part of the trail was shut down for maintenance/construction, but there were no signs directing cyclists to a detour. We ended up doing what most people were doing: cutting through the fence and going through the construction site. Other than these quibbles, it's a great trail that you should check out if you're in the area.

We accessed it through a frail yet charming town of Inglewood, right off of McLaughlin Road. To those staying in Mississauga and Brampton, you can basically take the road straight down to the trail. Apparently, it isn't a hidden secret and tons of people know about this trail. We went at 7 am and saw a few bikers and some walkers. We hiked down with Caesar (my doggo) and it was serene and empty enough that I could let him off leash. We covered about 10km (past hwy 10 and then back). It's an easy hike as the land is pretty flat, a few ups and downs here and there but nothing too rough. It was mostly pebbled path with trees on both sides and some streams of water that Caesar was so KEEN on jumping into. There were 2 concrete bridges we crossed over - all in all it was a great morning walk with the dog. I highly recommend this place.

The instructors don't use a microphone so it's difficult to hear what they are saying throughout the class. All of that stuff I can look past, but the biggest reason I am giving them a poor review is because they are so disorganized!!!!!!!!!! The amount of times where classes would be cancelled last minute 5-20 minutes before they were supposed to start was unbelievable. They focus way to much on opening new locations and advertising and not enough time on improving the classes they already have! Do not recommend.
