Embracing the Ocean’s Rhythm

The sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon as I made my way to Calle Roque del Este, 5, the starting point of my Ocean SUP Session in Tías. The air was crisp, carrying the salty scent of the sea, and I felt a familiar thrill of anticipation. As a marine biologist, the ocean is my second home, but this time, I was here not to study but to experience the ocean’s energy in a new way.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by Barbara and Diego, the instructors from School 3S. Their warm smiles and welcoming demeanor immediately put me at ease. We spent a few moments getting to know each other before heading down to the beach. The first part of our session was dedicated to yoga on the SUP board. Anchored on a floating platform, I found myself practicing simple asanas, feeling the gentle sway of the water beneath me. It was a unique challenge to maintain balance, but the experience was both calming and invigorating. The ocean’s rhythm seemed to sync with my breath, creating a serene connection with nature.

Finding Balance and Confidence

After the yoga session, it was time to learn the art of stand-up paddleboarding. Barbara and Diego’s expertise shone through as they patiently guided me through the basics of rowing and standing on the board. Their instructions were clear and encouraging, making the learning process enjoyable and stress-free.

As I paddled out into the open sea, I felt a sense of liberation. The vastness of the ocean stretched out before me, and I was but a small part of this magnificent ecosystem. The gentle lapping of the waves against the board was a soothing soundtrack, and I couldn’t help but smile as I found my balance. Falling into the water was all part of the fun, and each splash was a reminder of the playful side of nature.

A Journey of Relaxation and Adventure

The session concluded with a leisurely paddle along the coastline. The sun was now high in the sky, casting a golden glow over the water. I took a moment to pause and soak in the beauty around me. The experience was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, a reminder of why I fell in love with the ocean in the first place.

Reflecting on the day, I realized that the Ocean SUP Session was more than just a physical activity; it was a journey of self-discovery and connection with nature. Barbara and Diego’s passion for the ocean and their dedication to teaching made the experience truly unforgettable. Whether you’re a seasoned water enthusiast or a curious beginner, this session offers a unique opportunity to embrace the ocean’s energy and find balance on the board.

For those looking to explore the ocean in a new and exciting way, I highly recommend this SUP session. It’s an adventure that promises to rejuvenate your spirit and leave you with cherished memories of the sea.
