A low sun catches the limestone cliffs of Marina del Cantone and the sea turns a clean Mediterranean blue as paddles slip through glassy water. Participants meet on the main sand and step onto stable, oversized SUP boards designed for beginners; over the next hour they will arc around the bay, glide past small caves and step-off points that are only reachable from the water.

Arrive hydrated and ready
Bring a full reusable water bottle and sip regularly—paddling in sun uses more water than you expect.
Wear secure footwear
Reef shoes or lightweight neoprene shoes make re-boarding and short beach exits easier and protect feet from sharp rock.
Know the weight limit
Max weight is 90 kg; heavier loads affect board stability—check with the operator if you're near the limit.

If wind picks up the bay can develop chop quickly; choose morning departures for flatter water when possible.
