SUP Courses

I'm a absolute beginner, can I take a SUP course?

Absolutely! Our courses are designed for all levels, from total beginners to experts. The beginner course is perfect for those who have never tried SUP: you'll start with land-based drills to learn correct posture, then move into the water with constant instructor support. Within hours, you'll be paddling independently!

How long does a SUP course last?

Duration varies depending on the type of course:

  • Single Lesson: 1.5-2 hours
  • Beginner Course (Foundations): 3 lessons of 2 hours each
  • Intermediate Course: 4 lessons of 2 hours each
  • Advanced Course: 5 lessons of 2 hours each
  • SUP Yoga: 1.5-hour sessions

We also offer customizable packages based on your specific needs and goals.

Do I need to know how to swim to do SUP?

Yes, for safety reasons, we require basic water confidence. You don't need to be a competitive swimmer, but you must be able to swim at least 25 meters and feel comfortable in the water. We provide certified life jackets (PFDs) for all activities to ensure maximum safety.

What is the minimum age to participate?

The minimum age is 8 years old, with parental authorization. For children under 14, a parent or guardian must be present. We offer dedicated courses for kids (8-12), teens (13-17), and adults. We also have special programs for over-60s who want to get started!

Do you offer private lessons?

Certainly! Private lessons are ideal for those who want 100% personalized attention. You can arrange flexible schedules, focus on specific technical aspects, and progress more rapidly. We also offer private coaching for couples or small friend groups (max 4 people).
