Coast To Coast - SUP Club Torbole

Hi there,
Here at Lake Garda the season hasn't started yet, still chilly and cold water (13° C).
Yesterday was a calm day, so my cousin came to visit me from my hometown Venice and joined me for a Stand Up Paddle session - Coast to Coast.
We left Conca d'Oro in Torbole around 1 pm and crossed the lake towards the western coast.


After just 50 minutes we were on the other side of the lake... our feets were frozen and we decided to stop for few minutes, on the veranda of Ristorante Casa della Trota, which is closed since a very long time.

Then we explored the cave just beside the resturant, and we found a nice and SUPER COLD waterfall... below the small video.



Suddendly just when we decided to come back a strong gusty north wind started to blow and made our cruise very hard, completely against the wind...


Thanks to Shaka Surf Center , and Sup Club Torbole for the SUPs and the paddles!!!
If you want to join us and cruise the lake please write us and become a member of Sup Club Torbole.

Arrivederci
Andrea

SUP - Downwind with South Wind

Hi there,
sorry for the long time without posting but I already started to work and don't have so much time for all.


Last friday I went to Malcesine, small town in the middle part of lake Garda, and on a Naish 12' Stand Up Paddle I did the Downwind from there to Torbole.


Thanks to a friend that gave me a ride with a big van and Fabio the photographer (fotofiore.com) that followed me with a moped doing a nice photoshoot from the mountain.


I can't show you all the nice photos because they will be posted in one of the first magazine of Stand up Paddle here in italy.
Just a small previewof this fantastic experience... 11 km about 7 miles of pure downwind in only 2hours.


Thanks to Shaka Surf Shop to borrow me the board and the paddle.
Sup buddy searching!! write me at info@suptime.it

Aloha,
Andrea
