Stand up Paddle

Disciplines: choose your style

Surfing

This practice consists of taking waves offshore and paddling out onto them. You can adopt a radical style with small boards or a more cruising style like longboarding. The advantage over normal surfing is that it’s easier to catch waves because you’re already upright. What’s more, your elevated position means you can see the waves coming before anyone else.

Walking and hiking

This is the easiest way to start stand-up paddling (SUP). It involves using a board, hard or inflatable, to navigate a calm body of water such as a lagoon. The big advantage is that it’s accessible to all, and will give you an unobstructed view of the landscape. In terms of equipment, we always recommend a wide, long board to ensure greater stability from the outset.

Dakhla: the perfect place to learn

Dakhla is the ideal spot for beginners and advanced paddlers alike . On windless days, you can paddle quietly between dolphins or following the pink flamingos. Take advantage of the lagoon’s smooth water to familiarize yourself with the medium.

You’ll learn the basic techniques that will enable you to be completely autonomous and make the most of your future sessions to tame the Moroccan waves in complete safety.

Safety note: Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
