Course Description
The SUP technique race course aims to introduce paddlers with a fair amount of experience to the techniques used in SUP competitions. This course covers aspects related to paddling, pivot and debordé turns on buoys, route management and the exploitation of wakes in the race.
The course includes theory on the mechanics related to the paddling and tacking technique, as well as a series of exercises that we usually use in training aimed at improving performance, balance and endurance. In addition, the workouts needed to improve your performance will be discussed.
The SUP race technique is also suitable for those who want to do aerobic activity with the SUP. A great alternative to running and gym for the summer months. In fact, the correct movement of the paddle allows you to train endurance, strength and breath. It is a great way to keep fit while having fun in the cool of the lake.
