SUP-foilen the next level
SUP is now a well-known workout. Paddling on a board across a calm sea with the setting sun in the background is wonderfully relaxing. But would you like to take your SUP skills to the next level? Try SUP foiling! The foil under the board lifts you up and adds an extra dimension to your SUP experience. It takes a bit of perseverance at first, but it’s so cool when you get the hang of it! Ask The Spot about booking options.
Book a SUP lesson
On flat water, SUPing is already a workout, but at sea, it’s a step up. It really is the ultimate challenge and you can go in any direction. Learn to catch a wave on your sup-board or find peace and quiet during a sunset sup lesson.
Theory & practice
You start with an on-shore explanation of the basics of SUPpening and everything to do with safety in the water. Then you get into the water and put theory into practice. And in no time you’ll be enjoying the swell of the sea behind the surf.
