STAND UP PADDLING in MALAYSIA
Stand Up Paddle Board Lessons Introduction
The fast-growing sport of Stand Up Paddling (SUP) is a fun, easy way to go and play on the water. Stand up paddling is a very cool sport that provides you with countless fun and adventure! With a minimum of equipment, you can paddle anything from ocean surf to lakes and rivers - no waves required.
Stand Up Paddling is becoming a very popular water sport. Stand Up Paddle board begins on flat water, where you can get your balance on the oversized boards. Standup boards are larger and more stable than surfing long boards, which makes them more stable. The boards are ridden standing up, so some initial balance is required. The rider uses a long shafted paddle for propulsion
and steering. There are different strokes you can learn to help you turn, and to make you go.
Stand Up Paddling has grown into a worldwide phenomenon. It has become many things to different people; a recreational water sport, a competitive sport
and a great way to get a core workout.
The great appeal about Stand Up Paddling is that no previous experience is required, and you do not have to be super fit to give it a try. It is much less demanding than regular surfing. Therefore it appeals to all ages, young and old. This makes it a great activity that families can share and do it together.
Once you have your balance, you can tour the ocean, and to explore the reefs.
Just cruise and relax, or pick up the pace for an isometric workout for your core muscles.
Stand Up Paddling is a great way to get fit without having to working out. It is a way of exercising without even realizing it, just have fun. When you are on the board the constant motion engages hundreds of small muscles from the soles of your feet into your legs and core midsection. They all come alive through the process of balancing and stabilization. Zero impact and zero impact on knees and ankle the joints. Paddling involves the shoulders, arms, chest and back.
Go at your own pace, rest whenever you like, slow or fast, it’s up to you. If you are feeling more adventurous, you can try to catch some small waves. Most people
will be fully satisfied (and exhausted) after their SUP session.

conducted at the sea located in Pulau Indah, Port Klang, Selangor. It's a flat water sea and sometime you will catch a small waves. You will be trained by our SUP instructor. We use standard beginner stand up paddle boards

Collapse all | Expand all
What is Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP)?
It is a very stable surfboard to stand on and use a long paddle in your hand to glide across the water and experience sea life and landscape that normally cannot be accessed.
Do I have to know how to surf?
Not at all, but you must know how to swim
Is there a minimum or maximum age or size to paddle?
The minimum age is 5 years old. Has long as you are in good health there is no reason why seniors cannot paddle! Also, our boards can handle up to 285 lbs, so come out a paddle for a great workout!
What do I need to bring?
Please wear a swimsuit and sun protection. You may also want to bring something to drink (we will have limited water).
What about weather and water conditions?
A light mist in the hot weather is okay for paddling. But no padding in heavy rain or thunderstorms! We will then reschedule. If in doubt, please call. Also, if we deem the water conditions for the day dangerous we reserve the right to reschedule (safety first).
I am just one person, can I join a group lesson?
