SUP lessons in Angelochori, Thessaloniki

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) has become the fastest growing water sport in recent years for several great reasons. First and foremost, it’s very easy to learn. It’s also a great outdoor activity which stimulates the mind and the body. You can learn quickly, have fun, and receive a great low-impact workout all at the same time.

Our proven and progressional instructional methodology offers a step-by-step approach for your skill development. The best way to get introduced into the world of SUP’ing is through personalized private surf instruction. Our private SUP lessons allow you to receive one-on-one instruction on the beach and in the water, ensuring your safety and an optimal learning curve. Our private lessons are scheduled according to your desire and our availability. First time lessons consist of 20 minutes of our “Ground School”, and 1 hour and 40 minutes of personalized water time. Second and consecutive lessons consist of all water time!

The first challenge is learning to get out to the sea and establish your legs. The sea is the most dynamic environment on earth. Everything is constantly moving, and the key is to let go and feel that movement beneath you. Instead of struggling to fight and resist the movement, you will learn to go with it, allowing the sea to ebb and flow under your feet and your Stand Up Paddle board. Using similar paddling techniques and core muscles, you will quickly enjoy the feeling of rising up, over, and down the backs of the slow-rolling open sea swells.

Once you’ve reached a stable comfort level paddling in the sea, you will be taught how to read the waves. For someone that already surfs, this may come naturally. For those that haven’t, it will be a skill that comes with time and patience. There are methods that you will learn which will be helpful for predicting breaking waves, where to be as they approach, and how to catch them. Like riding a bicycle, once you’re moving on your board, you will feel an increased sense of stability that comes with your momentum.

The thrill of sliding down the face of a breaking wave is intoxicating and addictive. If this is your first time gliding along like the dolphins or pelicans, be prepared to spend the rest of your life enjoying it as they do. You will gain an appreciation for the sea, wave riding, and life, like never before!
