Stand Up Paddling (SUP)
Ever wanted to hit the beach and carve up those waves on a surfboard but thought it looks too difficult. Why not try Stand Up Paddling (SUP), the resurrection of a traditional Polynesian pastime for fishing over the shallow reefs and transport between islands has hit the shores of Dubai. One difference between the modern idea of surfing and SUP is that the latter does not need any waves to enjoy the experience. You can reap all the physical benefits of SUP by paddling around on a flat ocean surface, and because you are stood up on the board you gain a whole different visual experience from the distant horizons to the clear water below you.
A stand up paddle board is like an enlarged regular surfboard and can range between 9’6 and 14 feet. The volume of a SUP board is much greater than that of your conventional surfboard creating greater buoyancy in the water, thus making it is much easier to stand up on. A paddle is used to propel you through the water. The majority of time Dubai offers excellent smooth and calm waters for beginner paddlers. With those occasional swells for those more experienced paddlers, don’t be afraid to test your wave riding skills.
Stand up Paddling is excellent for surfers and non-surfers alike as it involves that unique way of getting fit and staying in shape as it involves an isometric workout. Our trainers will teach you the correct stance and paddling technique which promotes balance, strength, overall fitness and really focuses on your core muscle groups. As an added bonus for the fairer sex, you get a great tan whilst paddling.
