A cross between surfing and windsurfing, the Stand Up Paddle is the perfect compromise for getting the real thrill of the ride!

Less sporty than surfing and more fun than kayaking, come and discover the hottest new sport! SUP (Stand Up Paddle) is the first water sports activity accessible to everyone in as little time as possible. If you’d like to be introduced to the sport by one of our specialist coaches, all you have to do is book 1 or more hours of lessons, whether you’re on your own or in a group.

Each AKILA Gruissan centre will also offer you the opportunity to discover the Giant Paddle, which can be shared by groups of 4 to 8 people.

The programme includes a presentation of the equipment, different types of boards, paddle adjustments, rowing techniques and manoeuvring techniques. Conditions permitting, you can choose between a short supervised ride or, for the more resourceful, an introduction to surfing on days when the swell comes in.

Don’t hesitate to come and try your hand at sliding – everyone can do it!
