Episode 41

What happens when you combine adventure, advocacy, and a paddleboard? Dan Rubinstein set out on a Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) journey from Ottawa to New York and onward to Lake Erie, and along the way discovered more than just miles of water — he found community, kindness, and a deeper understanding of how “blue space” can transform our mental and physical health.

In this inspiring conversation, Dan shares:

  • Why time on the water is even more powerful than other natural spaces for well-being.
  • His SUP journey and the unexpected generosity of people he met.
  • How local action for rivers, lakes, and streams is key in tackling climate change.
  • Tips for getting started with paddleboarding.

This isn’t just a story of adventure — it’s a call to rediscover the water in your own backyard and protect it for the future.
