Meet your small group at Port Olímpic in Barcelona. After changing into your bathing suit (wetsuits are also provided for you to use at your own expense, if you wish), collect your kayak and paddleboard equipment and run through some of the basics about each sport with your instructor.
Learn how to slide onto your kayak, and hold the paddle correctly with some pointers for forward and backward strokes. With the paddleboard, discover how to stand without wobbling on the open water and to keep the board moving in a straight direction. Then, take to the sea to try out your techniques!

Paddle until reaching Nova Icària beach. If you can tear your eyes away from the fun on the water, take a moment to admire the scenery. While known as one of Barcelona’s top watersports destinations, Nova Icària beach itself is beautiful with a stretch of soft, beige sand framed by a leafy promenade.
Spend roughly an hour on each sport as your instructor remains nearby in the water to give advice. When your session finishes, return to Port Olímpic to get changed, shower and drop off your equipment before bidding your small group goodbye.
