Sunrise Paddle

The paddle at sunrise is the most meditative experience there is. The sea is smooth, the wind is nil, the sky turns from grey to pink, and you move forward slowly, silently, by paddle power.

The activity

You slip into the water from the aft platform, paddle, take the open water, and come back. The session can last 30 minutes or 2 hours, depending on your endurance. The idea is to enjoy the moment, not to work out.

Coaching & safety

• Recent stand-up paddle boards, adjusted paddles, safety leash.
• Light wetsuit provided at the beginning and end of the season, depending on water temperature.
• Safety and technique briefing before entering the water: posture, paddle, balance.
• Guide for beginners or those who want to discover the bay differently.
• Secure practice area, sheltered from wind and traffic.
• Hot tea or coffee on board on return, to extend the moment.

The ideal moment

At sunrise, between May and September, when the water is soft and the light is the most beautiful. In summer, we start around 6am-7am to enjoy the coolness. Off-season, it's just as magical but cooler. The captain chooses a sheltered bay, facing east if possible, to catch the first rays.
