Equipment
To assure you will have the best possible experience on the water we have chosen to work with the world’s two leading SUP brands – Starboard and Red Paddle Co.
Boards come in a range of sizes and include both inflatable and hard board models. All paddles have a lightweight hybrid carbon shaft and are adjustable in length.
Service
We can assist you in planning your trip – from choosing the right gear to suggesting routes and places of interest. Our staff have the local knowledge and expertise to get you out there and enjoy the natural beauty of Rhodes.
Safety
Stand up paddling is a relatively easy sport to do but when paddling on open water it’s important that you are aware of the potential safety hazards. Therefore, each person who rents a board with us will receive a short safety briefing and demonstration of what to do in various situations.
While you’re on the water we keep an active look out and have a rescue boat on stand-by in case of difficulties.
Open water safety precautions include:
- Always wear a leash and have a life-jacket with you.
- Carry a cell phone in a waterproof case.
- Bring plenty of drinking water.
- Protect yourself from the sun (sunscreen, hat, t-shirt).
- Paddle within swimming distance from the shore.
- Make sure someone on land knows where you’re heading and what time you plan to be back.
COVID-19 Safety measures
- Social distancing is maintained throughout the whole activity
- All gear is cleaned after each use
First time paddling?
First time paddlers are recommended to follow the introduction to paddling or join the SUP Adventure. However, if you prefer to try by yourself we will ask you to stay within the area of the center so we can keep an eye on you.

Attention!
There are multiple places on the island where they’ll let you rent a SUP but do not always provide the necessary safety cover. When renting a SUP always check that the board has a leash, that you are given a life-jacket and that the place keeps an active look-out.
Do not go on the water when the wind is blowing strong off-shore (from land to sea). If you do find yourself struggling against the wind try paddling on your knees or prone paddle – lay down on your board with the paddle under you and use your hands to paddle like regular surfers.
