Overview
The protected waters of Damouchari natural harbor, provide the ideal environment & conditions for practicing SUP.
But more than that, we have built a real lesson plan, which aims, after these 2 hours, to make you feel totally comfortable on a paddle board. The question is not just to stand up or keep you occupied for some time. The goal is the participant to be able to control and maneuver the board accurately... be the "master" of it. In addition we teach you some advanced hints too, that are both practical and make you look like pro.
Addressed to everyone, young & old, beginners & experienced. We have the right board for any body size to stand up.
Beginners build confidence from the beginning & avoid being discouraged by first time failures. If you already have some experience, the plan gets adapted to your weaknesses, in order to help you move to the next level. An ASI (Academy of Surfing Instructors) instructor makes you improve your paddling skills & technique the right way.
What's Included
- carbon paddle and a wide selection of boards of different volume and types.
- Guide is licensed or certified
- Private transportation
- Neoprene wetsuit useful in April
Meeting And Pickup

What To Expect
The lesson starts with a detailed briefing outside the water. For the first 20 mins we learn how to choose the right board, how to adjust the paddle, the self rescue and the basic paddling techniques: how to hold the paddle, how to go forward, how to stop, how to turn. Right after, we get in the water, we learn how to stand up, and we practice the basic strokes by doing a series of exercises. The goal of this phase of the lesson (which takes about 45min) is to maneuver the board effectively and control it with accuracy. Later we do a short break in the water, where water and a refreshment is served. After break, the instructor teaches you more advanced ways to turn while static or in motion, like the cross bow technique. For the last 45 minutes we go on a short tour outside the harbor to a secluded bay less than a kilometer away for practicing everything we learnt in real conditions.
