About the tour

General info

Stand up paddling offers a fun, relaxing way to play on the water. Enjoy this activity on one of the most beautiful karst lakes in Croatia. Learn the legend about the formation of Blue lake near Imotski town and discover why it is possible to play football at the bottom of the lake. After paddling we are taking you to see one of the deepest karst lakes in Europe just nearby, Red lake, which got its name after the reddish-brown color of the surrounding cliffs. We continue our day towards the spring of Vrljika river near the old mill where you will have traditional lunch prepared under the baking lid. Previous experience or age doesn’t matter since it is very easy to learn. And since you stand at your full height, you can enjoy unique views of the beautiful Blue lake.

If you have a question we probably have an answer

What is the best SUP paddling technique?

The basic technique is pretty straightforward. You stand perfectly parallel to the board facing forward with your feet about shoulders width apart. You should be centered on the board in both directions. The hand slide is a good marker. Your knees should be bent slightly. With the angle of the blade angling away from you to the front, dip the paddle in the water a few feet in front of you. Don’t lose your balance, but the further forward you can reach, the more power you can attain. Dip the paddle in the water and try to pull it back straight parallel to the rail of the board, but don’t hit the rail. Pull the paddle out of the water immediately as the paddle passes your feet. As you pull the paddle out of the water, drop your top hand across your body so the paddle blade turns and slices thru the air as you move it forward for the next dip. When you’re stroking, concentrate on keeping your arms straight and using your core to power the stroke. Think in terms of your top arm and the paddle forming an “A” with the middle part being the crossbar in the “A”.

Does my SUP board float?

Yes, we use inflatable boards sizes 10.2 and 10.4.

Will I get wet?

Yes, you will.

Is experience necessary?

Experience is not necessary.

What is provided?

Basic equipment consists of stand up paddling board, paddle, and PFD (professional floating device aka life-vest).

What should you wear?

There is always a chance you may fall in the water so consider what fabric your clothes are made from – quick dry is best or just swimming suit.

What to take with you?

Besides swimming suit, you will need sunscreen, hat, dry clothes to change after the tour, plenty of water and a towel.
