The oldest way to glide over the water

Stand up paddle (SUP), also known as paddle boarding or paddle surfing, is probably the oldest way of gliding across the water on a board with the help of a paddle. Modern materials allow boards that are lighter, wider and longer than surfboards, with great stability and manoeuvrability.

A very complete workout

When you paddle standing up, the surface is unstable and affected by waves, currents and wind; and to move forward you need repeated strokes that shift your weight on the board. The result is combined work for arms, torso, hips and feet that uses almost every muscle in the body: a very complete, healthy activity that improves muscle tone and balance.

With our tuition you will learn correct paddling and navigation technique, with the right manoeuvres and movements to avoid injury and control the board and paddle safely.

Trips

Paddle board trip from La Ermita beach

Setting off from La Ermita beach (the bay), the route follows the coastline to the area where the Phoenician ship was found.

After a short explanation of the history of this emblematic find, we paddle on to the small unspoilt cove on “Isla de Paco”, where we take a break and can see the unusual plants and wildlife that live on the island. If sea conditions allow, we paddle right round it before returning to the starting point, where we share the experience and recover our energy.
