Drew Climie, Life Coaching & Yoga

Drew is very knowledgeable and has an obvious love of the sport SUP. It was so interesting to learn about the beginnings of the sport.Drew was logical and methodical with his class layout. He made everyone feel supported and encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and try different skills on the board. There is an odd reaction of when someone falls off a board. Whether it is within ourselves or from others. Drew was able to shelf that fear of falling in us and encouraged us to step out of our safety zone and if you fell he was happy to see that you tried something different.It was great that he kept it to a small group of 6. He understands the importance of giving individual attention and not just looking for profit.The water was very choppy. Conditions that I would not normally go out in much less for hours. But, it forced me to brave it and dig deep and paddle hard. With his instruction, I improved my stroke and confidence on choppy water. Which helps prepare me for water conditions that can suddenly change. I often paddle by myself, so, I now feel better equipped to do that and from his class learned that perhaps a minimalist lifejacket is not the best idea. I have only worn that type of lifejacket once in Vancouver but will be wearing a full lifejacket from now on.Drew's class is a very long and full day. Drew definitely gives you your money's worth and packs it with lots of lessons. He tailors his class and pushes us to our limits. He makes certain to check in with you because he knew that the conditions were challenging. Safety checks were done throughout the day.I would highly recommend Drew's class. He is a very likeable, knowledgeable, relatable and thorough Instructor.Drew seems to be at the top of his game and hope his business continues to thrive.

Drew (owner) was great and super helpful. Bought a couple of nice paddles and a pfd. Anyone considering this amazing sport, go see Drew.

I am a legally blind snowboarder and I've been training with Drew for 5 years! I use SUP as my cross training sport in the summer months and that is what we primarily did for the first two years working together.Over the last few years and especially this past year our training has shifted focus significantly. While I'm still SUP cross training, we have also added in Yoga practices and breath and meditation training. This shift in training has made a tremendous positive impact in my training performance and has also helped me in my every day life when anxiety and nerves peak.From the moment I reached out to Drew he has been an amazing, super supportive and adaptive coach. I always look forward to our sessions as Drew makes sure their fun, challenging and filled with knowledge to help me continue to learn and grow. Drew always ensure everyone is well supported and is very in tune with everyone unique needs and abilities!I highly recommend Drew! I promise you'll be in great hands and company!

Drew is a patient, knowledgable coach who worked with me at my own pace. I took his Beginner/Advanced Paddle Board course which was a blast!! He's playful and safety aware at the same time - a winning combo. After his class I was more confident on my board and have advanced even further now since I practice the drills he taught me. Highly recommend!
