Discover the fabulous art of Stand Up Paddling during your summer holidays in Hvar!
SUP is suitable for all ages and you can learn how to properly practise it in no time! The friendly and highly-qualified instructors will show you all the basic techniques and you will be standing up on your board in no time. The location of the school is ideally located in a bay and protected from the wind and waves, making it perfect for beginners. The SUP boards are also good for initiation, as they are large and stable.
You will start your lesson with a short introduction to SUP on dry land for about 20 minutes. The instructor will show you how to stand on the board, how to keep balance, how to paddle and how to turn the board quickly and will give you some advice regarding safety. You will also be given information about local winds and currents and advice on how to avoid unwanted and risky situations. You will start your initiation with the instructor at the school's protected bay on the sea. The instructor will stay close to the group at all times, helping in all situations and giving the necessary advice on how to correct mistakes and improve your paddling techniques.
When you master the basics of paddling on a SUP, which may take 1 hour or less, depending on the group, your instructor will take you out for the first beginner tour. The distance and route of the tour may vary depending on the group's skill level, your preference, and weather conditions. You will have the opportunity to visit beautiful nearby cliffs or to paddle across the channel to the Pakleni Islands. You may use the third hour to practice on the SUP alone or to extend the tour with your instructor.
