Full description
Keep your balance, you won't want to miss a second of the spectacular scenery of the Asturian coast.
In this beginner's paddle surfing class on the beaches of Castrillón you will learn how to handle the board, perfect your paddling and move confidently on the water. We will cover approximately 1 km and, if the conditions allow it, we will make a special stop at the island of La Ladrona for a swim in the middle of nature.
The personalised attention and small groups mean that you can get started safely and enjoy yourself at your own pace. The Bay of Biscay at your feet.
What we will do
The meeting point is in Naveces, Castrillón, 15 minutes before the booking time. There we will be met by our instructor with the equipment ready, after a brief presentation, we will get into the van that will take us to the beach, selected for the class depending on the conditions of the day.
After arriving at the beach, we will hand out the equipment and do a brief briefing on technique, safety and the basics of SUP. It will be time to get to know the board, warm up and practice some tricks to keep your balance.
During the tour, we will work on paddling technique, directional control and posture on the board, always with the support of the instructor. We will enjoy the views while we do a route of approximately 1 km, we will refresh ourselves with a swim in the island of La Ladrona and we will breathe freedom as we glide over the Cantabrian waters.
We will leave the water after an intense 1 hour and a half lesson. We will return by van to the meeting point. The activity will last a total of 2 hours.
