World Paddle For The Planet Day was founded by Bob Purdy in British Columbia. He has been Paddling For The Planet everyday, rain, snow, ice, or heat since January 1, 2011. His goal is simple. Be the Change you want to see. The challenge is to change the way we live on the planet. The planet is in critical condition, and together we can send a SUP Wave of Change Around the World!
