Howe Sound: Protect What You Love

Watch "Howe Sound", a riveting short film collaboration between Blackfish Paddles and SUP expedition leader Norm Hann. They capture the beauty and majesty of North America's southernmost fjord, highlighting the vulnerability and rarity of this eco-system which is home to orcas, salmon sliding upstream and, of course, humans.

In this film, Blackfish Paddles advocates for the conservation of local marine systems with team rider Norm Hann, SUP athlete and wildlife advocate.

Originally approached by David Smart, owner of Blackfish Paddles, Hann was asked to create a short environmental feature about Howe Sound. Both parties really wanted to showcase the incredible diversity of their home waters in Squamish, B.C. - also home to Blackfish Paddles.
