Do I need lessons or experience?
No, everyone can do it! You only need to be able to swim and have a little sense of balance, but you will get the hang of it in no-time! If not, you can still SUP on your knees and have the same experience or rent a kayak seat. It is just a little less Instagrammable 😉
