We are again lucky to be joined by Jared Munch for QAS 2021. Jared became one of only five American Canoe Association Level 5 Advanced Whitewater SUP certified instructors in 2017.










His QAS presentation will be based on an 920 mile, 39 day unsupported journey from Duluth, MN to the southernmost tip of the Arctic Ocean. He will dive into the finer skills of stand up paddling while providing an overview of the journey.

His presentation utilizes the main adventure as a storyline while occasionally deviating into winter surfing in Lake Superior, whitewater stand up paddle boarding, elite SUP racing, and more.

To see this topic and the others scheduled to date, visit the QAS website and look for 2021-Virtual QAS.

Hap Wilson (pictured above) will also return to QAS because the QAS Program Committee (i.e. Linda De Kock) has been working for months to bring you the best QAS possible. You can see it taking shape on our website. Visit the links below to see the line up for each of our five evenings.

Even in the best of times, the QAS budget for promotional expenses was small. In hard times, let us just say that it is even smaller. We are working to get the word out over Facebook, Twitter, and our website but we ask that you give us a hand and post some of our event information to your networks. Examples of what to share are below.
