Disconnect and just enjoy the moment as you explore the coastline
Stand up Paddle or SUP offers you two different sensations, on calm windless days it enables you to disconnect and just enjoy the moment as you explore the coastline, with the relaxing sound of the water hitting the bottom of the SUP.
On the days when there is swell and waves, it is just you, and your adrenaline as you catch the waves and maneuver the SUP to power you on the wave. SUP in Essaouira is becoming more popular due to its versatility; as a great way to explore as well as catch waves. The benefit of SUP, firstly you have the paddle which enables you to catch the waves easier, and a larger board to balance on. Find out about Essaouira SUP lessons, rental and storage.

Learn SUP in Essaouira
#Learn We have amazing instructors, who are experts in the Watersports activity they teach as well as coaching style and methodology to ensure you get the most out of your lessons with us
Essaouira Beginner & Intermediate SUP Lessons
Beginner SUP lessons are right in front of our beachside centre in the perfect spot we first focus on your balance to your knees and then standing on your feet, how to paddle to maximise your speed and stability, If you want to learn to catch the waves, we then look how how you catch the wave and the optimum point to catch the wave. We will focus on your position and stance to extend your time on the wave, catching green waves and using the paddle to turn. If you are an intermediate or advanced Stand up Paddler depending on the conditions we would most likely run your lesson from second beach where the waves are bigger and more powerful. The lesson will be tailored to your level so you would meet the instructor first so you can explain your level and experience, he will then agree with you the focus and objectives for the course.
