The experience

The activity starts at a meeting point where you board a boat heading to Whitte Watta San Andrés. Once there, the instructors walk you through what to expect before you enter the water. You'll wear a life jacket and impact protection helmet throughout, and the board itself is high-quality equipment designed to let you glide smoothly across the waves. The whole experience is built around keeping you safe while you learn the motion of being towed.

A trained instructor stays on board with you during the session. They handle the setup, watch your form, and make sure you're comfortable in the water. The boat does the pulling while you focus on balance and positioning on the board. Hydration is provided, and the activity runs at a moderate pace so you can build confidence without feeling rushed. The session lasts about an hour from start to finish.

Children over 8 can participate if they're comfortable in water and can dive. Parents who want to join but have younger children who aren't ready can bring them along on the boat. The operator offers a companion option so the whole family can be part of the outing, even if not everyone is on a board.
