SUP: rental and initiation
Stand-up paddleboarding, commonly known as SUP, is now a well-established water activity in Québec, enjoyed both for leisure and wellness. Accessible and versatile, it offers a unique way to make the most of the province's lakes and rivers in a natural setting.
Thanks to the stability of the board, many enthusiasts incorporate yoga, fitness exercises or meditation into their outings, turning time on the water into a truly active moment of relaxation.
Parc Jean-Drapeau provides the ideal environment to try or practise SUP in Montréal, whether on the calm waters of Jean-Doré Beach or along the lagoon loop surrounding the Floralies Gardens.

KSF team
The KSF team is composed of avid water-sports practitioners who are also highly regarded professionals and pioneers of stand-up paddleboarding in Québec. These people are on site at the Pavillon d'activités nautiques during the summer season for a complete range of equipment rentals: board, paddle, personal flotation device (PFD), etc.
Lessons
The KSF experts also offer, by reservation, a range of SUP, yoga and fitness lessons for both beginners and more experienced participants.
