We all sail together on the Lac de Castillon until we reach a “secret spot” on the island of the lake! There, you have the choice: either you trudge on the rocks and make jumps where the guide takes you, or you stay on your paddle and continue your initiation / improvement, either you rest on one of the wild creeks, either you bathe simply in the turquoise water of the lake which makes you really want to!

What is Stand Up Paddle ?

Stand Up Paddle is a water sport derived from surfing. You don’t have to be the king of the wave to steer your board. This activity is very flexible to use and does not need neither waves nor installations, or even a great mastery to be able to provide you with the pleasure of a nice ride on the water. Open to everyone, Stand Up Paddle is a great way to test your balance, to practice sport gently and sheathing his whole body but also to challenger on the water !

Our paddles are particularly stable and all you need is a little balance to paddle quietly on the lake, standing or kneeling on the board, and admire the landscape in complete serenity.

If you want to enjoy other aquatic activities with HPO boats, we also offer canoeing and rafting for even more thrills!
