Vila Nova de Milfontes
and Lisbon
Stand Up Paddle Milfontes, is an old way of surfing with a paddle to direct our way on the wave and while it helps up to stand up on the board.
Stand Up Paddle in Portugal it’s great for because we have rivers, lagoons, dam’s and a long coast line full of waves; and it’s a sport for all ages.
With Stand Up Paddle Milfontes you work out your arms, legs, core and balance; it’s a different way to work out in a healthy and fun way in balance with Nature.
Our SUP school Milfontes provides to all a unique experience in some amazing beaches and surf spots not yet explored by Stan Up Paddlers. Diogo Queimada our trainer is the 2x SUP waves national champion and surf trainer certified by Portuguese Surf Federation since 2006.
With SUPMoments you can explore the surf and also go to flat water paddling in our River Mira with Sup Alentejo.
