After about 1 to 2 km, if you feel comfortable and confident in the water, you may start to stand up and paddle.

While paddling on the lake, paying attention to avoid obstacles such as branches, rocks, etc. Paddling close to the shore and being mindful of motorboats navigating on the lake. We will have a motorboat escorting us throughout the paddling. If you want to use the paddle to maneuver the boat, please inform the guide.

If you can swim and have significant paddling experience, you may remove your life jacket and tie it to the SUP, but you must not remove the leg leash.
