Sanxenxo Paddle Surf Club

Sanxenxo Paddle Surf Club is a paddle-surf school and club with its premises in front of Silgar beach, in the centre of Sanxenxo. It teaches, hires and stores boards, and runs guided routes on the Pontevedra and Arousa rías.

How it works

It operates all year, although most of the activity is in summer. Lessons are two hours, beginner or improvement, and the price drops with the group: €60 private, €45 per person for two and €30 from three. There is also a five-day course for €120. The lesson includes the board, paddle, life jacket, changing rooms with lockers, a qualified instructor and civil liability and accident insurance.

Routes have weekly departures in summer; out of season they run by booking, with a minimum of five people. The Tambo island one lasts three hours and costs €50; there is another to the Areoso islet, four hours, for €60; one on the Umia river, three hours, for €50; and a full-moon night one, two hours, for €40. The daytime ones include permits and a picnic.

What else it offers

It hires inflatable boards with paddle and life jacket from €15 an hour, €25 for two hours and €35 for three; an adult has to sign the contract. It organises yoga sessions on the board of an hour and a half, for €30, for groups of five or more, and in summer a children's camp from Monday to Friday, from 10:00 to 14:00, with paddle surf, kayak and surfskate, from €145 a week. It also stores and repairs boards of any make.
