All about the trip

The activity takes place in Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona). Stand up paddling has become the fastest growing sport on the water this past year. The first step in learning to stand up paddle is getting your board to the water. This activity introduction gives you the basics to be confident with the board and paddle and to be able to stand up easily with an instructor that will help you to improve your paddling style. If you already have the experience, we offer to paddle some 5 km around the beach of Vilanova.
