Surf the Greats

Here’s your chance to show float your Pride on Lake Ontario. We have teamed up with <A HREF="https://gto.mec.ca/en/activities/mec-outdoor-nation-summits" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="MEC Outdoor Nation" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">MEC Outdoor Nation</A>, <A HREF="https://www.patagonia.com/home/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Patagonia" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Patagonia</A>, and <A HREF="https://redpaddleco.com/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Red Paddle Co" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Red Paddle Co</A> to put together an alternative pride event right here in our urban landscape. As a gay-owned and operated business, we hope to offer an inclusive event to the LGBTQ+ community and provide an opportunity to live a lifestyle in harmony with our natural environment.

We have an afternoon planned down at Cherry Beach and encourage everyone to bring their own human powered vessel to help them float their Pride! Much like ourselves, our floatation devices come in all shapes and sizes: canoes, SUPs, kayaks, inflatable unicorns or even a pool noodle! The swimming area at Cherry Beach will provide a supervised and safe environment for swimmers of all levels, has ample parking, and easily accessible by public transit.

We will be bringing along our fleet of Stand-up Paddleboards and offering Intro to SUP clinics as well. We will give back to our environment by doing a short beach clean up and dance in the sun to the beats of local <A HREF="https://www.raphaelsanchez.co/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Raphael Sanchez" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">DJ Raphael Sanchez</A>! Grab your fiercest bathing suit, invite a friend and come join us in assembling a diverse and adventurous Pride Floatilla right here in Toronto.
