About this experience
The protected waters of Damouchari natural harbor, provide the ideal environment & conditions for practicing SUP.
But more than that, we have built a real lesson plan, which aims, after these 2 hours, to make you feel totally comfortable on a paddle board. The question is not just to stand up or keep you occupied for some time. The goal is the participant to be able to control and maneuver the board accurately... be the "master" of it. In addition we teach you some advanced hints too, that are both practical and make you look like pro.
Addressed to everyone, young & old, beginners & experienced. We have the right board for any body size to stand up.
Beginners build confidence from the beginning & avoid being discouraged by first time failures. If you already have some experience, the plan gets adapted to your weaknesses, in order to help you move to the next level. An ASI (Academy of Surfing Instructors) instructor makes you improve your paddling skills & technique the right way.
