Learning to paddle surf is easier than it looks. Within a few hours, most people can stand up and move through the water confidently. In Mallorca, with its calm waters and favourable climate, learning is especially quick and enjoyable.
Do I Need Any Prior Experience?
None at all. Paddle surfing is suitable for people with no experience in water sports whatsoever. All you need is basic swimming ability and a willingness to learn. From age 8 to adulthood, SUP is accessible for everyone.
What Will You Learn in a Paddle Surfing Class?
In a typical 2-hour beginners’ lesson you will learn: how to get onto the board from the water, correct paddling technique (to protect your back), how to balance on the board, how to turn and manoeuvre, and basic water safety.
Group Classes vs Private Lessons
Group classes (maximum 6-8 people) are ideal if you want to meet other water sports enthusiasts and enjoy a social atmosphere. They are more affordable and very effective for learning the basics.
Private lessons are perfect if you want to progress quickly or have a specific goal (competition preparation, advanced technique, etc.).
What Is Included?
All our classes include: quality board and paddle adapted to your height and weight, approved life jacket, leash, wetsuit or shorty in cold weather, and sports accident insurance.
