In this episode of the SUPfm podcast, we sit down with Dan Rubinstein, journalist, and the author of Waterborne, a powerful new book chronicling his 1,200-mile inland paddleboarding journey through Canada and the US.We explore the intersection of adventure, environment, and human connection, tracing Dan’s remarkable route from Ottawa to Montreal, down to New York, and back to Toronto via the Erie Canal—by stand-up paddleboard.In this conversation, Dan shares:How a summer rental turned into a passion for SUP and a whole new way of seeing waterThe logistics, challenges, and mindset behind planning and completing a months-long solo expeditionDeep insights into how blue space—access to water—benefits mental, physical, and community healthWe dive into Waterborne, the book born from this journey, and explore its deeper stories: indigenous paddling communities, urban river revitalisation, environmental justice, and the healing power of water in a divided world. Through Dan’s eyes, paddleboarding becomes not just a sport, but a way to connect with place, people, and purpose.Whether you’re an inland paddler, a curious adventurer, or someone seeking meaning through movement, this episode offers a rich layer of storytelling, practical wisdom, and quiet inspiration.Waterbourne is NOW available - Preorder / Buy hereAll other links to buy WaterborneConnect with Dan on Instagram 🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share this episode with someone who’d love itKeep up with SUPfm: on Facebook: @SUPfmPodcast on Instagram: @supfmpodcast AND subscribe to our newsletter here and get your FREE guide to the apps we recommend, to live your best SUP lifeBuild the lifetime knowledge you need to keep safe on the waterOur comprehensive online SUP Safety Course gives you the knowledge you need, to keep safe on the water and ALL FOR LESS than the price of an hours on-water tuition (£37) £10It's available here at https://supfm.thinkific.com/See you on the water!
