Get up, stand up!

While contemplating the calm waters of the sea, you will most probably catch a glimpse of standup paddlers balancing on long boards, their silhouettes adding to the beauty of the horizon. Take a walk on the sand between the beaches of Arpoador, Ipanema and Leblon and you will find several professionals offering practical lessons and equipment rentals, such as the Stand Up Paddle Arpoador school. A perfect activity to start getting in sync with the ocean and into the spirit of vacation.
