Enjoy this popular mix of canoeing and surfing at Minorca's crystal-clear waters.

But in calm waters not everything has to be reduced to dozing on the sand. For those who love the sea and especially finding balance, paddle surfing is an excellent option for exercising on the water, alone or with company.

To enjoy this increasingly popular mix of canoeing and surfing, one only needs a board, paddle and swimsuit.

This sport was born in the United States when surfers began to use their surfboards with canoe paddles to cruise on the sea on windless days. Later athletes and celebrities were implementing it as part of their training and has gained worldwide popularity ever since.

Suitable for all ages and levels of experience, you can enjoy Paddle Surf with or without a teacher on many of the island’s different beaches.

If you haven’t tried it yet, perhaps this summer is the time to have fun exploring the sea in a unique way. The worst that can happen is you end up falling into already tempting waters on possibly one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean.
