What is Paddle? Stand up Paddle Gorges du Tarn

Le Stand Up Paddle is a sliding sport that consists of rowing with a paddle while standing on your board. The board is of the “long-board” type and the paddle is a specific paddle, much longer than that of a canoe. The practice of Stand Up Paddle is not very technical compared to other sliding sports such as surfing, which makes it an easy discipline to learn and a very friendly leisure activity.

This discipline originating from the Hawaiian Islands has been practiced at sea since 1960. It was very quickly almost abandoned when short boards arrived on the market. It was thanks to competitions in Hawaii in the early 2000s that this discipline became popular again.

Today, the practice of Stand up Paddle is very widespread, whether at sea or on the river. The French Surfing Federation (FFS) has even created a section dedicated to this sport within its organization, thus making it possible to regulate and develop the practice of Paddle in France. It is now on the Gorges du Tarn that the Paddle splits the water!

The interest of Paddle in the Gorges du Tarn is that this discipline allows a completely different approach to the river from canoeing or kayaking. Indeed, the standing position offers an incredible view of the shore and the bottom of the Tarn, which other boats do not allow.
