Everything you need to know about kayaking and paddle surfing to explore the sea

Jávea, a jewel of the Mediterranean, is the perfect destination for lovers of water activities.

In this paradisiacal corner, kayaking and paddle surfing have become two of the most popular experiences for locals and tourists alike.

If you are planning your next adventure, kayaking and paddle surfing experiences will be a great option.

We offer flexible rental options for you to enjoy Jávea at your own pace, whether cutting through the waves in a kayak or gliding smoothly on a paddle surfboard.

In this blog, you'll find everything you need to know to explore the sea at your own pace.

What is kayaking?

Kayaking is a small and narrow vessel, designed to be propelled by one or two people using a double-bladed paddle.

The kayaker sits in a low position with legs stretched forward, navigating through the waters with coordinated paddle movements.

This activity not only offers a unique experience to explore the coasts and coves of Jávea but also provides excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscle strengthening.

What is SUP or Paddle Surfing??

SUP, or Stand Up Paddle Surfing, is a water activity where the participant stands on a large board and uses a single-bladed paddle to move around. Paddle surfing combines balance, strength, and endurance, resulting in a complete workout while enjoying the beauty of the seascape.

 

Difference Between Kayaking and SUP

Although both kayaking and SUP allow you to explore and enjoy the water, there are key differences between these activities.

In kayaking, you sit and use a double-bladed paddle, while in SUP you stand on the board and use a single-bladed paddle.

SUP offers a unique perspective and a closer connection with the water, as you are standing and can look directly down. On the other hand, kayaking can be faster and more efficient for long distances.

 

Advantages of Kayaking and SUP

Kayak

Efficiency in Long Distances: Ideal for covering long distances and exploring different areas of Jávea.

Stability: Kayaks are generally more stable and easier to handle in windy conditions or rough waters.

Speed: They can reach higher speeds, making them perfect for adventurers seeking excitement.


Paddle Surf

Visibility: Standing up gives you a better view of the surroundings and marine life.

Versatility: You can practice it in different types of waters, from calm bays to sea waves.

Complete Workout: Works multiple muscle groups, improving balance, strength, and endurance.
