Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) is a watersport closely related to surfing, with Polynesian origins that echo Hawaii's surfing traditions. It involves standing on a surfboard while propelling yourself with a paddle. An easy-to-learn, highly enjoyable sport, it's perfect for those wanting to combine their passion for the sea with physical activity.
Stand Up Paddle Boarding in La Barceloneta
If you're impatient to start, don't worry – you won't have to wait to try SUP as we're launching right now. The fact is, Barcelona's paddle boarding companies have already opened their SUP schools at the stunning La Barceloneta beach.
This 1,100-metre-long beach with fine golden sand, easily accessible from Barcelona's city centre, welcomes everyone wanting to try the sport of the moment.
La Barceloneta's conditions and prime location make it uniquely suited for paddle boarding. Situated in an urban landscape within a historic fishing quarter that's now buzzing with atmosphere, its calm waters are ideal for SUP – and that's no small thing.
Besides this new location, Ungravity Freestyle Company also operates on the Costa Brava in Sant Pere Pescador, where you'll find both calm spots and more dynamic areas to practice Stand Up Paddle Boarding in moving water.
You'll have plenty of options to explore the Costa Brava in the most fun way possible.

Ungravity Freestyle Company makes this sport accessible through multiple activities, with top-quality equipment and instruction from fully qualified coaches. There's a SUP activity for everyone.
- If you've never tried it and want to experience your first paddle strokes, we recommend a Stand Up Paddle taster session. We're confident that after the 2-hour session, you'll be left wanting more. After a briefing covering equipment and basic techniques, you'll be ready for a mini route along the shoreline.
- For those who've tried it before and want more, we suggest booking a course. We offer courses for all levels that will improve your technique based on your existing skills. These courses consist of 3-hour daily sessions to enhance your basic technique, progress further, and even learn to handle waves.
