    ●What is SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard)?
    You ride on a board slightly larger than a surfboard
    and paddle to move forward.
    Of course, you can stand, but if you sit,
    it's stable, so even beginners can enjoy it.
    You can enjoy it safely.

    Iriomote Island has rivers lush with mangroves,
    a beautiful sea surrounded by coral reefs, and
    it's a perfect environment for experiencing SUP.
    On Iriomote Island, with its world-renowned nature,
    why not try a SUP experience that connects you with nature?

    Standing on the water, you can observe your surroundings,
    and of course, if you lie on the board, you can observe nature
    right at the water's edge.
    In the rivers, you can see mangroves and subtropical plants,
    and hear the calls of birds like the ruddy kingfisher and crested serpent eagle.
    You can even hear the sounds of birds.
    In the sea, you can enjoy the coral reefs spreading beneath your feet.
    can.

    Explanation of how to hold the paddle, how to paddle, and about the board,
    Detailed and careful about how to balance the center of gravity and where to place the feet.
    I will lecture, so even beginners can quickly
    You can stand on it!

    Let's enjoy SUP in the great nature of Iriomote Island☆

    Despite the bad weather and cold, and the muddy waters of Nakama River, it was still good to experience the river surrounded by mangroves. The staff were kind and lent us wetsuits. Next time, I’d like to try it in the sea on a sunny day.
