What to expect
You'll collect your board, vest, and paddle at Playa de Santiago, then push off into calm coastal waters. Balance and core strength matter more than prior experience—the board is stable enough for most people to find their rhythm within minutes. Expect to paddle gently along the shoreline, where you're likely to share the water with local marine life. The vest keeps you secure; focus on steady strokes and enjoying the perspective of seeing the beach and cliffs from the water.
Good to know
Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Public buses serve the area. Bring sun protection and a light layer—you're exposed on the water.
