E28 — Scott Parent
This week, Colin Field talks to SUP adventurer, photographer and filmmaker Scott Parent. Back before people were routinely doing SUP crossings, Parent paddled across Georgian Bay—something no one had done before. It took 18 hours from stepping off land until he stepped back on land. No one has repeated that feat.
He's continued to do incredible things. From his winter crossing of Georgian Bay in 2016 to his 500-kilometre SUP trip in which his then 9-year-old daughter joined him on the board, the homegrown adventures continue.
As a photographer and filmmaker, he's a passionate defender of Georgian Bay and the Great Lakes. He says he'll continue to "show up for the Bay, to serve it and protect it, in any way that I can."
