Now at 60 years old, Bodie is considered a SUP pioneer and veteran SUP competitor. Bodie is one of the first Canadians to have raced in some the world’s most prestigious and demanding events, including the Battle of the Paddle California and Hawaii, Paddle Royal in Puerto Rico and WhaSUP VI in St Thomas! On July 31st 2011, Bodie became one of the first Canadian stand up paddleboarders to successfully navigate the “Channel of Bones” in the SUP World Championship 32 mile race from Molokai to Oahu!

Bodie is a ASI “Master Certified” SUP instructor by the World Stand Up Paddleboard Association, and was one of  Paddle Canada’s first Instructor Trainers, and is a PSUPA, Professional Stand Up Paddle Association Advisor, Trainer.  He is a Professional Ski Guide, Mountain Bike Association Certified Instructor, holds a current First Aid and CPR Certification and is a registered Fitness Leader with the BCRPA.
