the origin
of stand up salou

We are Judith and Roger, two passionate people of the sea, surfing, palm trees and a quiet life. We have always followed our passions in our professional careers: Judith as a belly dance and yoga teacher, and Roger as a water treatment technician.

It all started in 2013, during a holiday in California. In San Diego Bay, we saw many people practising paddle surfing and doing pilates on boards. We instantly fell in love with this practice and, from that moment on, we began to dream of bringing this experience to our town, where there were hardly any places to rent or learn stand up paddle in Tarragona.

After training in the discipline, in the summer of 2014 we began our adventure on Salou beach. The following year, in 2015, we incorporated SUP Yoga, a natural extension for Judith, given her love of yoga, and it was an immediate success.
In 2016, we expanded our offer with sunset paddle surf trips, a magical experience that quickly became one of our most popular activities. However, in 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we made the brave decision to leave our jobs to dedicate ourselves fully to paddle surfing.

2024 marks a new chapter for us. After losing our base on the beach due to a new tender, we refused to give up on our dreams. With renewed desire and determination, we found a new home in a charming little cove nearby. Here, we continue our passion in a centre that we love and with a small shop that makes everyone who visits us fall in love. We continue to fight for our dreams, with more enthusiasm than ever, and we are delighted to share this journey with everyone who comes to Stand Up Salou.
