About Rob Casey

SUP has changed my life, so I love to share my knowledge and skills and transform lives. Students have lost weight, increased their self-esteem, and have paddled in places and conditions they’d never imagined they’d be capable of.

We’re starting our Skagit River Eagle Tours! Thi

We’re starting our Skagit River Eagle Tours! This isn’t a float with propane heaters. It does require basic river sup and kayak skills and you’ll learn more on-water. We have toasty rental winter paddling clothing and river gear. I’ve you’ve taken our Deception Pass class you’re good to go. Next tour Dec 12th. #salmonbaypaddle @visitskagit #skagiteagles

The winter views at Deception Pass are pretty epic

The winter views at Deception Pass are pretty epic. First is our Saturday class finishing up on Bowman Bay. Second is my favorite Lottie Bay. Looks like SE Alaska. Last is the road into Bowman Bay. Race this weekend and classes starting again in January. #salmonbaypaddle @wastatepks @visitskagit

Ahmed nails a Eddy turn yesterday in Canoe Pass! M

Ahmed nails a Eddy turn yesterday in Canoe Pass! Most beginners take about 30 min of practicing breaking out and in of Eddy lines before getting the feel of it to successfully to do it on their own. It’s a counterintuitive thing paddling into a roaring river then leaning into the turn before rushing down current. But also builds confidence. 14’ or UL Race/downwinder boards allow for more speed in traveling through the Pass where waters are deep unlike a shallow river. Waist leashes for safety in current. Next class in January. #salmonbaypaddle @visitskagit

Super fun day with 7 students in Deception Pass to

Super fun day with 7 students in Deception Pass today. Despite winter temps everyone was stoked and experienced both the flood, slack and ebb current. We saw two trees come down which was interesting. Lots of seals and a passing sea lion 🦭 Everyone rocked their Eddy turns, ferrying and balance especially after the ebb built up. Thanks to SBP coaches @scott_dahlquist and @ri_westcott for assistance. #salmonbaypaddle

Lots of spots left for the Deception Pass Challenge race Dec 11th. 6 miles through the tidal rapids of the Pass - around three islands, under the bridge twice and throw in a few whirlpools!
