Rebecca ​Marjoram
Mentoring Instructor

Rebecca is a flatwater instructor with CANRVRSUP and general fan of all things paddling. She first set foot on a paddle board in 2015 and hasn’t looked back. After being shown what river paddling could actually be during a whitewater clinic in 2019 (and after many, many falls and swims in that same clinic) she was hooked on eddy turns, currents, and big rapids. Rebecca loves introducing people to the sport of SUP and helping them progress their skills as paddlers. 
​
SUP is Rebecca’s favourite way to connect with nature and the outdoors, and meet other people that are just as stoked about whitewater as she is. 

Favourite place to paddle:
Wherever she is paddling that day (or the Lower Kananaskis river)

Goals for 2021:
Swift Water Rescue certification, send the race course on the Kan
