SUP: lessons & yoga
Stand-up paddleboarding, more commonly known by the acronym SUP, is a fun and accessible water sport which is growingly popular in the province of Québec because of its many lakes and rivers.
Because of the board's stability, many sports and health enthusiasts take advantage of their paddleboarding efforts to do yoga, exercises and even meditation while they're on the water.
In the Montréal area, Parc Jean-Drapeau is the ideal spot to enjoy paddleboard activities. You can head out and explore not only the placid lake waters of Jean-Doré Beach, but also in the loop of lagoons that go around the Floralies Gardens.
The Pavillon des activités nautiques has a spacious dock, where you can easily set out on your trek and safely enjoy a memorable outing amid nature.
