Did you know you can fish off a SUP?
Salmon are running and paddleboard fishing is genuinely SO fun. Stable platform, quiet approach — you're already out there, you might as well have a line in the water.
Grab a board and wetsuit from the shop and go find them. Boards from $30, wetsuits from $20, right on the beach at tinwis. We'll point you in the right direction. 🐟🎣

August evenings in Tofino hit different.
The fog burns off by mid-afternoon, the water goes flat and golden, and there is genuinely nowhere better to be than out on a paddleboard at 7pm watching it all happen.
Our Sunset Paddle is a private guided tour — 1.5 hours on the calm water at tinwis, everything included, no experience needed. Just show up and we take care of the rest.
