Why do we love Stand Up Paddle ?

The number one asset of the Stand Up Paddle is its accessibility. The practice of SUP is within everyone’s reach, and that’s what makes this sport so attractive. In addition to this, it offers a very varied spectrum of activities, there is something for everyone, from surfing to cruising and adventure. It is a versatile sport, you can practice it on almost any body of water : at sea, on the ocean, in the river, on a lake. No need to drive for hours to reach the coast !

We are standing, we can see far on the horizon. This broad vision allows you to anticipate each action and to be able to take as many waves as possible, while respecting others, of course. Less physical with a Paddle, you can enjoy all the pleasure of surfing without the constraints. The use of the Paddle makes surfing balance much easier and allows for rapid progress. We move fast, and the feeling of “surfing” is present even when rowing on the flat.

Finally, the Stand Up Paddle works all the muscles of the body, it is a complete sport, pure fitness surfing.
