Whistler is known for all sorts of high-octane adventure and the summer months offer no shortage of exciting and exhilarating activities. Summer is also a really good time to take it easy though, so The Insider is producing a series of short videos highlighting some of the more leisurely and relaxing summer endeavours Whistler has to offer.

For day two of the Whister Leisure & Pleasure videos The Insider hooks up with local Stand Up Paddleboarder Todd Lawson to talk about the joys of exploring Whistler’s lakes and beaches and floating the Whistler waterways on a paddle board, canoe, or kayak.

Check out Leisure: Disc Golf the first Whistler Leisure & Pleasure video and keep an eye out for more as the summer progresses. And you can always customize your own bit of Whistler leisure (or excitement) at Whistler.com.
