What to expect

When was the last time you tried something for the first time? Get ready for an unforgettable experience. You don’t need ‘good balance’ or ‘great fitness’ - SUP is an experience everyone can enjoy. We have wide stable boards that do the balancing for you. All you need is to be able to breathe and relax so you become one with the gentle movement. You can safely store your bags and keys with us whilst you SUP. Depending on conditions and your personal preference we can SUP on the Indian Ocean or on the Point Waterfront Canal - both locations have an array of marine life to see. Our ocean launch is at Point Beach where there are no waves to launch through. The first 10-15 minutes will be spent on the land learning about the the stand up paddling technique. You’ll feel relaxed and orientated to your equipment before you even get your feet wet. You will paddle first on our knees, to orientate your body to the movement and the SUP. Once you’re comfortable, we stand and experience the water from this unique vista – standing. Your coach will be paddling alongside you, guiding and supporting you and ensuring you have a truly memorable SUP experience in Durban.
