The Pros of SUP

Stand Up Paddle Surfing has many advantages :

The stand-up sensation throughout the session is amazing and so fluid much like on a surfboard on a wave.

You can see to the horizon without cranking your neck. Water visibility, its transparence, is just crazy. All these visual effects multiply your sensations.

The feeling of the Glide is always felt even when your paddling on flat water. It is an incredible cruising platform and of course super for Downwind.

You can use you SUP as heavily as you want. If you prefer stay cool, no worries, you can. If you prefer beak your arms : go for it!

Girls get better faster than men. They have better balance than men usually do, and SUP is easier than surfing, specifically concerning paddling. It is warmer because you are not in the water. It is similar to surfing but with less hassle !

The power of the paddle, and the way you use it, permit you to do incredible new maneuvers that you can only do on a stand up paddleboard. Board size is absolutely not a problem to do tricks and powerful moves.

Getting outside on the white water is really fun. It is not boring and is like a game : you are always surfing or in constant motion !

With the SUP, it is so easy to share good times with friends on a session. Talking about stand up, challenging your friends, yourself, sharing waves, it is always friendly and pure pleasure.

You take off on NADA ! A tiny swell, a bump, is enough. Even in the ocean far from the beach. A swell is enough to take off and slide.

You can go on really massive waves depending on the board volume you have. Thanks to the paddle, charging is easier. Your bottom turns are powerful. You are faster off the peak, you can move to get Out or In in a second… and taking off early on the wave.

It is very safe in the big surf thanks to high vision who allows you anticipate and be prepared for incoming waves. The speed of movement on the peak allows to place yourself exactly where you want.

The access to a view gives you confidence. You see much farther than when on your stomach and it helps you to manage your stress better.

It is a completely authentic activity. It is Fun and 100% surf cultura, but it is unique ! You can really live with the ocean and have a new, distinct feeling.
