Difference between the Cascais and Ericeira experience
Cascais
Sessions take place on a stable floating platform made of 8 connected paddleboards.
This creates a spacious and secure surface on calm ocean water, making it ideal for beginners, groups, and those who prefer a more grounded practice.
Ericeira
Sessions take place on individual boards using a weight-based anchoring system.
This allows practice in open water environments, including ocean, river, or sheltered bay areas (such as south-facing beaches), depending on conditions.
This setting offers a more dynamic and immersive connection to nature, with gentle movement from the water.
