🏄 What to Expect

After a short briefing on handling the giant board as a group, everyone climbs aboard together and works out how to paddle in a shared rhythm, which is often the trickiest and funniest part of the session. Once the group finds its balance, the board moves surprisingly well along the calm water of the bay.

With no set route to follow, groups are free to paddle along the shoreline, stop for photos, or simply enjoy the novelty of being on such a large board together. It works well for celebrations, team outings, or families wanting to try something a bit different from a standard paddleboard session.

📍 Location

Can Pastilla sits along the calm, sheltered waters of Playa de Palma, a setting well suited to a large group board where stability matters more than speed. The shallow water close to shore also makes getting on and off the board considerably easier.

A long promenade of bars and restaurants runs behind the beach, making it easy to continue a celebration or group outing after the session finishes. Public transport and parking are both within easy reach, which helps when coordinating a larger group.

✅ Prerequisites

No previous paddleboarding experience is needed, since the giant board is stable and the session is more about group coordination than individual skill. A reasonable level of comfort in the water is helpful, given that falling in as a group is a common and expected part of the fun.

Because the board needs a minimum number of people to balance and move properly, groups of at least 4 are required, up to a maximum of 8. Anyone with balance or mobility concerns should consider whether a standard paddleboard hire might suit them better.

⭐ Why Choose Us

The giant board is built specifically for group use, rather than being an oversized version of a standard paddleboard, so it handles well even with several people moving around on it at once. Life jackets and a full safety briefing are included as standard.

Booking this as a group activity gives friends, families, or colleagues a genuinely different way to spend time together on the water, with the shared challenge of paddling as one team adding to the fun rather than getting in the way of it.

FAQs:

How many people can use the giant board at once?

The giant board is designed for groups of 4 to 8 people, who paddle together as one team rather than individually. Fewer than 4 people generally makes the board harder to balance and manoeuvre properly. Larger groups tend to have the most fun with this activity, since finding a shared rhythm is part of the challenge and often leads to plenty of laughing and a few falls along the way.

Do we need previous paddleboarding experience?

No previous paddleboarding experience is needed for this session, since the activity is more about the group working together than any individual skill. A short briefing covers the basics of standing and paddling as a group before you set off. First timers and experienced paddlers can take part side by side, since the giant board levels the playing field somewhat compared to a standard individual paddleboard.

What happens if fewer than 4 people want to book?

This activity is designed for groups of at least 4 people, since fewer participants make it difficult to balance and move the board effectively. If your group is smaller, a standard paddleboard hire for one or two people might suit better. It is worth confirming numbers before booking, since the minimum group size reflects how the board is built to be used rather than being an arbitrary limit.

Is this suitable for a birthday or celebration?

Yes, this session works particularly well for birthdays, hen and stag celebrations, or any group get together looking for something different to do on the water. The shared challenge of paddling together often becomes a memorable part of the celebration itself. Groups sometimes bring along fancy dress or themed outfits for photos, though anything worn should be suitable for getting wet, since falling in is a common part of the experience.

What should we wear or bring?

Swimwear worn under your clothes is the main requirement, along with a towel and dry clothes to change into afterwards. Sun cream is worth applying before the session, since there is limited shade once you are out on the water. Water shoes are useful if you plan to wade in and out, and it is worth deciding in advance who will look after phones or valuables, since everyone on the board is likely to get wet at some point.

What happens if the weather is unsuitable?

This activity depends on reasonably calm sea conditions, so strong wind or rough water may mean the session cannot go ahead safely. Any decision on conditions is made close to the time, since forecasts along this stretch of coast can change quickly. If your session cannot run because of the weather, get in touch to discuss rearranging for another date. Checking the forecast in the days before your booking is worthwhile if conditions look unsettled.

Is a guide included with the session?

This is a self-guided session rather than a guided tour, though a full safety briefing is given before you set off covering how to handle the board as a group. Life jackets are provided and fitted before you get on the water. While there is no instructor accompanying the group throughout, the briefing covers everything needed to enjoy the session safely within the calm waters of the bay.

Can children take part in this activity?

Children can take part as part of a group, though the activity works best with a mix of ages able to help balance and paddle the board together. There is no strict minimum age, but younger children should be closely supervised by adults on the board. Families booking with children of different ages should think about how everyone will manage standing and paddling together, since younger or less confident members may need extra support.

What is the cancellation policy?

Bookings can usually be cancelled or rearranged up to 24 hours before the start time without charge, in line with the standard policy for this activity. Cancellations made closer to the start time may not be refundable. Full terms are confirmed at the time of booking, so check the wording carefully if your group's plans might change closer to the date.

Where do we collect the board?

The meeting point is on Carrer dels Palangres in Can Pastilla, right by the beach where the giant board is kept and prepared for each group. Full directions are confirmed once your booking is made. Arriving a little early is a good idea for a larger group, giving time for everyone to get fitted with a life jacket and hear the safety briefing before heading out together.
