The Meeting Point at Eurostars Las Salinas in Caleta de Fuste

The activity begins at the ground floor of Eurostars Las Salinas hotel, located right on the paseo marítimo in Caleta de Fuste. This easily accessible starting point provides convenient access for travelers staying nearby or arriving by transport. The meeting point is the same as the end location, so participants can focus entirely on their SUP experience without logistical concerns.

Expert Instructors and Small Group Dynamics

CANARY SURF ACADEMY leads this SUP course with instructors who are skilled and patient, as reflected in consistent praise for their friendly and knowledgeable approach. With a maximum of 4 learners per instructor, the group size fosters individual attention, making it ideal for first-timers and those wanting to improve their technique.

The instructors cover safety, weather forecast awareness, and current observation, ensuring participants are well-prepared before heading into the water. The small group format makes for a comfortable environment, especially for younger participants or complete beginners.

Comprehensive Equipment and Necessary Gear

All equipment needed for the session is included, such as boards, paddles, and leashes. Participants should bring their own swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, water, and beachwear. While water and a small snack are provided during the activity, food and drinks are not included, so packing a bottle of water is advised.

Because the course takes place on flat water, there is no need for advanced paddling skills. The activity is suitable for those confident in swimming and in good physical condition, making it accessible to most people within the age range of 6 and above.

Learning Focus: Technique, Safety, and Coordination

The course kicks off with a theory session on safety protocols, weather conditions, and how to observe currents and identify good SUP spots. After a brief stretching session, participants transition into the practical part on the water.

During the water segment, learners practice correct paddling techniques, including maneuvers that improve technical skills and coordination. The focus on proper form helps build confidence while having fun in the calm, flat waters of Caleta de Fuste.
