Albufeira Paddleboarding

Albufeira's Gale Beach is where the adrenaline junkies go to try out some of the most extreme watersports in the world. But what happens when the surf is flat and there's no wind for windsurfing? That's when the dudes in the know get out their SUPs.

SUP is short for Stand Up Paddleboard, a big board like a windsurf board but without a sail. Instead, the rider paddles in a standing position, using a long oar.

SUP'ing is probably the oldest board sport in the world. It's certainly one of the sickest. Made popular again by Laird Hamilton, Hawaiian big-wave surfer and all-round awesome guy, SUP'ing is an all over body conditioning sport and one of the best things you can do on a stag weekend.

SUP'ing is great for stag weekends because it can be as chilled or as exciting as you want. Take your boards out on a calm bay for a relaxing cruise - like kayaking, only standing up. Or head for the breaking swell to find out what the Hawaiian watermen have known for centuries. Paddling into a wave with a big board and an oar is much easier than lying down on a surfboard!

Albufeira is a great spot for learning this awesome sport. Our instructors are experienced SUP'ers who know all the best spots to take to the water in Portugal. After your first lesson, you'll be hooked!
