Frequently asked questions

No experience is needed for our beginner SUP trips. Our certified guides will teach you everything — how to balance, paddle, and steer — before you head out on the water. We cater to complete beginners as well as experienced paddlers looking to explore the Soča River.

You don't need any previous experience. We will teach you how to paddle. If it's your first time on a SUP we will start slowly by kneeling on the board first and then gradually progress towards the standing pose. If you ever feel like you're about to lose balance when standing up, all you need to do is crouch, and it's practically impossible to fall off the board.

Paddleboarding is not a very physically demanding sport, you don't need to be specially fit to participate.

We recommend that you bring a swimsuit, towel, warm clothes and something to drink. Don't forget about sunscreen on a sunny day!

For the trips on calm waters, the minimum age is 5 years. Depending on the age, kids can paddle alone or join parents on their board. For the Soča River Trip, they need to be at least 10 years old and must paddle on their own board. It is best if kids that scare easily do not attend this trip.

If your pet knows how to swim and is comfortable in the water they can join you on your board. Pets can not join the Soča River Trip.

You do not need to know how to swim, if you're a non-swimmer please let us know and we will provide a life vest. On the Soča River Trip, you have to know how to swim.

If you go on a trip with us, we will take care of everything. We pick you up and drive you to the start point in a super comfortable air-conditioned van. You won't have to worry about parking, navigation, or transporting the boards. All you need to do is relax and enjoy the ride. You can have a music request or get informed about the area and its history. The guide will show you all the best spots and make sure you learn the proper paddling technique. That way, you will get the most out of the sport, which is especially useful if it is your first time on the paddleboard. If you already know how to paddle professionally and would like to be alone with your friends or family to spend a whole day by the water, then you should consider renting. Please note that we strongly discourage going paddling on the whitewater sections of Soča river on your own. The fast-flowing river with rapids is very dangerous to the inexperienced. You shouldn't go paddling the river on your own unless you know exactly what you're doing, have experience with whitewater, and you are properly equipped and informed. If you are not completely sure you're up for the task we strongly recommend booking our Whitewater SUP trip on Soča river.
