About Us

Swell is the energy that moves through the ocean and connects us all.

Swell Paddle + Surf (formerly T’ashii Paddleboarding) is all about creating a connection with the ocean and others through getting on the water together. After all it is the pursuit of surf and being on the ocean that lead owner Emre Bosut to make Tofino his home. Swell is his way of sharing his love of playing in the ocean with you. We’re not just passionate about surfing and paddling, we live and breathe it… and we may be a bit nerdy about it too.

Swell has two locations in Tofino: You can find us at Mackenzie Beach Resort for beachfront surfboard and paddleboards. We also offer SUP tours at our Mackenzie Beach location. Or, swing by our new surf shop at Hotel Zed where we have surfboard and paddleboard rentals, bike rentals, and offer daily tours of the Tofino inlet during high tide.

Interested in learning to paddleboard, surf, or SUP surf? Swing by our headquarters at Hotel Zed to chat with our team about booking a lesson or head to our website to reserve your spot online.

In addition, Swell is also an outdoor school. Join Emre for Paddle Canada instructor certification courses or up your safety game by taking a Red Cross First Aid Course.
