Come join our social SUP & sip events! This is a relaxed, semi-guided SUP group paddle event. Paddle around the beautiful sheltered waters of the Chukwani Bay, meet other paddlers, chill with friends and practice your paddling techniques with our guides. In this peaceful bay, you trade the sounds of the busy city for birdsong and the splashes of jumping fish; while old beautiful dhow boats sail out to sea at sunset. We'll be out on the water for a short paddle and then end the event floating on boards/kayaks, sharing stories and drinks until the sun sets. This event is for all abilities and perfect for beginners who want to dip their toes into the world of SUP in a relaxed and safe environment. And why not toast your success with an ice cold beer or delicious wine!
