EXPERIENCED / RECREATIONAL LEVEL
What to expect
For who?
During the SUP11 Islands adventure around the Thai Islands, we will paddle an average of 25 kilometers per day. As this takes place on open sea, with the possibility of wind and changing conditions, you need to have prior paddle experience. For example on a bigger lake where you have dealt with waves or choppy conditions.
You should feel confident handling your board when the water gets a bit rougher. To paddle an average of 25 kilometers a day, you’ll also need to have some k’s in your arms!
Please also be aware: it will be hot. We will make sure there is enough water and fresh coconuts at every break and on the safety boats.
This trip is suitable for experienced recreational paddlers, not beginners.
What are we going to do?
On the first day, we paddle from one side of the island Koh Chang to the other side.
During the remaining four days, we will be island hopping. At every break, fresh coconuts will be waiting for you, including a light lunch.
When we finish paddling for the day, you are free to enjoy the island on your own. This can include snorkeling, relaxing, or even more paddling.
