Stand-Up Paddleboarding
- Duration
- 2 hours
- Where
- Mandrem creek and Ashwem, north Goa
- Ideal for
- Anyone with reasonable balance; beginners welcome
Mandrem creek is the best place in Goa to learn: it is shallow, flat and sheltered, and it opens directly onto the beach so there is somewhere to progress to once you can stand up.
The session starts with proper instruction rather than a shove, and the guide will take you through the creek mouth onto open water if conditions and your balance both allow.
Highlights
- A sheltered creek that is ideal for learning
- Real instruction, not just board hire
- Out onto the sea if the morning is calm
- Boards and leashes provided
