Paddle boarding company opens its doors
Jasper’s first standup paddleboard (SUP) company, Translucid Adventures, will officially open its doors to the public on May 29.
Located on Lake Edith, people will be able to rent paddleboards from 12 to 6 p.m. Friday to Monday, until June 23 when it opens seven days week.
Parks Canada put out a request for proposals earlier this year to offer SUP rentals at either Lake Edith or Lake Annette and accepted one from Alisen Charlten and Steph Sophocleous, the proponents responsible for Translucid Adventures.
Besides renting equipment, the women will also offer private lessons, guided interpretation, group excursions, paddle fitness and SUP yoga classes.
Although the company’s physical location is at Lake Edith, Translucid Adventures is a mobile guiding operation offering standup paddleboarding on lakes throughout the park.
