For those who haven’t tried it yet, a few words about SUP… It is a super fun sport for all ages and fitness levels! But it isn’t just about fun. SUP is considered on of the best full-body workouts because of the combination of strength, balance, core and endurance. In sum, if you like water, recreational sports and soaking in the natural surroundings, Stand Up Paddle is for you!
We will take it easy enjoying the surroundings, paddling and swimming. The guide will explain you the bay and the history of rowing that is so important for the Basques. Once we get to Santa Clara Island the guide will prepare a picnic.
Santa Clara island is the fourth beach of San Sebastian – hidden for most of the visitors. There are people who swim to get there. Others use boats, kayak or paddle. It is a great spot to spend a half day, have a picnic, swim and even jump to the water from the rocks.
The whole point of standup paddle boarding is to have fun and relax. This experience is exactly that with an addition of an awesome picnic because great food forms a very important part in our lives!
