Stand up paddle

• Tenerife has magnificent waves, but also powerful breaks. It is essential to be aware of your physical condition and SUP boarding level before trying this sport.
• Beaches generally have lifeguard services who will advise you on whether paddleboarding is advisable or not. However, you should consider:
  • The strength and direction of the wind
  • The prevailing direction of the currents
  • The time of day when the tide is at its highest
  • The size of the waves
  • The entry and exit areas into the sea. Keep in mind that these areas may vary due to the above factors.
• It is always advisable to paddleboard with someone, with sessions lasting no more than two hours, to prevent fatigue and dehydration.
• Protect yourself from the sun and maintain a balanced diet.

You can explore the coast of Tenerife year-round thanks to its perfect weather conditions. Just keep in mind the water temperature at different times of the year to ensure you are more or less comfortable: in winter it ranges around 19°C, while in summer it is around 23°C.

• Board: If you need to rent one, you can do so at a specialised shop or company that organises this type of activity around the island. If you are using an inflatable board, we recommend bringing a pump to inflate it.
• Paddle: You can find paddles adjustable to your height and experience in specialised shops.
• A life jacket is essential for safety, especially if you are not an experienced swimmer.
• It is also recommended to bring a dry bag to protect personal belongings, sun protection (waterproof sunscreen, goggles with straps, and a cap).
• Seasonal clothing (lightweight with UV protection in summer or neoprene in winter).
• If you wish, you can wear water shoes for greater comfort in rocky areas.

Of course! There are several specialised schools spread across Tenerife where you can learn or improve your paddleboarding skills. Many of them offer classes for every level, from beginners to advanced, and include the necessary equipment, such as a board, a paddle, and a life jacket. They are also usually located on beaches with calm waters ideal for beginners, and some also organise guided excursions along the coast or to watch the sunset.

Yes, you do not have to worry about whether you can bring your board with you. In Tenerife, you can rent paddleboards at numerous centres throughout the island. Options range from hourly rentals to multi-day packages.
