What is stand-up paddling or SUP?
Stand-up paddling is one of the world’s most popular water sports. Do you want to practice? It’s so simple! Simply stand up on a board and row with a paddle. What sets it apart from surfing is the oar and the wide board. You can sit on it and intensely enjoy the moment right in the middle of Lac de Biscarrosse, sensation guaranteed! You can even choose an inflatable board if you wish.
Stand-up paddling is a fairly simple discipline. And what better place than Lac de Biscarrosse to try your hand at this exciting activity? This spot is suitable for riders of all levels. Are you a beginner or just a casual paddler? In such cases, consider taking part in a short hike to fine-tune your techniques! The ride takes place on the lake’s calm waters, aboard a wide, long board for greater stability.
The more experienced prefer surfing. They then tackle offshore waves with smaller boards. But racing remains the discipline that demands the most endurance. You paddle on a long, particularly thin board to split the water and limit friction. You can also enjoy other activities on your SUP board: fishing, yoga… The choice is yours!
