Stand Up

Stand Up Paddling Tour in Rio, is practiced on the Canal de Marapendi, a clear water lagoon in Barra da Tijuca neighborhood. Our lessons take about one hour, including a short briefing. The lagoon has shallow waters, so people who do not feel very comfortable swimming, have nothing to fear. This activity is recommended to people at all ages, who have no history of knees or back problems. This activity requires that you maintain your body on a straight and rigid position, with the knees bent a little bit. People who already have experience may be able to book a surf lesson with a SUP board. The beach where the lesson will be given, is picked by the instructor, according to the sea conditions. When you travel to Rio, SUPing is a must do thing !
