LOOKING FOR HOLIDAY IDEAS? Do something different this summer with stand up paddle board hire at Cabo Roig beach. Paddleboarding is super-fun, provides a relaxing way to enjoy the Mediterranean Sea in a safe location, and it's a great activity for couples and families too.
Standup paddleboarding, often abbreviated to “SUP”, is a water sport born from surfing with roots originating in the Pacific island of Hawaii. Stand up paddle boarders stand on boards that are floating on the water's surface, using a paddle to propel themselves through the water.
Paddle boarding tends to be a more relaxed pastime compared with the adrenalin-fuelled wave-chasing sport of surfing, and paddleboards tend to be wider and longer than surfboards.
Crucially, unlike surf boards, paddle boards are easier to master and ideally suited to beginners and families because they're much more naturally stable than their surfing counterparts.
The sport has grown in popularity around the world and lead to variations of the sport including paddleboard surfing, paddle board fishing, stand up paddle board touring, and SUP yoga – the latter typically taking place on calm water such as lakes or bays.
Experience SUP standup paddleboard fun on Orihuela Costa
Mastering a stand-up paddle board can prove a rewarding experience, and it's a great way to spend a day enjoying some of Orihuela Costa's finest beaches. It's thankfully inexpensive too.
