Paddling for Change: Dan Rubinstein on SUP Adventures, Blue Space, and Protecting Our Waters
Update: 2025-09-12
Description
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.
