Stand up paddle SUP, is a sport that can be practiced in calm waters and at sea. Costa Ballena and the South Pacific region offers a lot of beautiful places for this sport.
There are two types of disciplines: SUP surfig and recreational SUP.
We have excellent beaches and rivers where both disciplines can be practiced. Among the best known are the beaches along Costa Ballena; the Terraba and Sierpe Rivers; and Drake Bay and the Golfo Dulce Golfio.
Walk on water!
This is the best way to explain the feeling you experience when you practice this sport. For the past two years, Bahía Ballena has hosted the National SUP circuit; it has been one of the most popular events, not only because our beach is gorgeous, but it also has a higher degree of difficulty than other locations.
Our community has a SUP champion, Diego Chévez; he is the National Champion in category SUP 4.5 kilometers, and a great advocate of the sport in our area.
We invite you to practice SUP and learn about its advantages.
