Stand-up paddleboarding is a rapidly growing sport that involves moving along on a board whilst standing, using a paddle. Although it seems like a simple concept, it is a very well-rounded sport that develops the whole body and improves balance. Isla Canela has fantastic beaches for practising the sport; there are generally not many waves, which makes it ideal for learning. It is a beautiful setting for paddling trips and, apart from the coastline with its sandy islands, you can also paddle along the River Guadiana, the River Carreras and through the salt marshes. When there is an easterly wind, clean, orderly waves roll in for more advanced paddlers.

The standard course lasts 10 hours, spread over 5 sessions of 2 hours each. Under normal circumstances, courses run from Monday to Friday and it is recommended that they be taken consecutively. However, we adapt to the client’s needs, whether to shorten or extend the duration. The only requirement is to be over 10 years old and a confident swimmer. During the course, the school will provide all the equipment: board, paddle and life jacket.

The brand chosen by our school is primarily Starboard, a world-leading brand with unbeatable equipment.
We also use inflatable boards from Zero, a new brand that is here to stay.
