This is a short list of our most frequently asked questions. For more information about Stand Up Training®, or if you don’t find the answer you require, please visit our contact page, or send us an email to: contact@standup-training.com.

01

SECURITY: Are your Activities and Tours safe?

All our SUP Yoga Classes and SUP Tours begin with a safety briefing in which we explain and demonstrate the rules and procedures of the activity and use of equipment. Our boards are designed with a focus on safety and combined with the wearing of a supplied life vest - if requested, ensure a very safe learning environment.

02

EXPERIENCE: Do I need to have experience in Stand Up Paddle or Yoga to attend in any of your activities?

No experience is necessary to attend any of our SUP Yoga Class or SUP Tour. The experience of our trainers and the stability of our boards offer a great confidence while performing any activity.

03

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS: Can I get seasick on your SUP tours?

SUP Tours are always conducted in calm waters, which allows for very smooth cruising. With the distractions of stunning scenery and the natural beauty of flora and fauna, it should be unlikely to feel any discomfort.

04

APPAREL: What should I wear for the SUP Tours or SUP Yoga Class at the pool?

Dress to get wet! Regardless of whether you fall in or not, you're going to get a little wet in this practice. Cotton clothing gets heavy when wet, so avoid it and opt for dry-fit apparel instead, such as yoga form fit clothing. Bikinis are not recommended as you may experience some discomfort and modesty issues in some specific yoga poses. Enjoyment being paramount - board shorts and a t-shirt have proven to be the most comfortable. Sunscreen and a hat are highly recommended in all activities.

05

PRICING: I am on a budget!

The pricing of the activities can vary depending on the duration, number of participants, type of activity, routes chosen and extras, such as meals and transportation. Prices presented in our online shop are our standard rates and can be adjusted according to specific situations. Please don't hesitate to contact us about special requests or conditions, and we will be happy to provide you with a tailor-made offer.

06

BOOKING: How far in advance do I need to make a reservation?

Due to the Stand Up Training® structure, reservations need to be made in advance. Depending on the time of year, reservations should be made at least 7 days in advance in low-season and 15 days in advance in high-season.

07

AVAILABILITY: I would like to experience Stand Up Paddle, but have limited availability. Do you have private classes?

If you require private tuition, a workshop, a solo tour or a tour with a group of friends, please contact us for pricing and availability.

08

SKILLS: Do I need be able to swim to attend on SUP Yoga Classes, SUP Tours or SUP Yoga Teacher Training?

A KNOWLEDGE OF BASIC SWIMMING IS STRONGLY ADVISED! If you are afraid of water, we can provide a life-jacket and personal assistance on on our SUP Tours. For the classes and training in the pool, you don’t need to worry, our trainers are highly qualified and will teach you the right instructions for a safe and enjoyable practice.

09

CHILDREN: Can children also join? What age?
