Event recapitulation

Sharing the passion for SUP with Uros kids, a fun anf enriching experience for our paddle team.

After completing the 1st edition of the Titikaka Lake crossing, the 4 paddlers and their team headed to a local school in the main channel of Uros islands where kids aged 11-15 years had been invited by their teacher to join and discover Stand-up Paddle. The lake crossing paddlers invited local kids to join them in tandem on their inflatable boards and guided them to practice on their own. This event aimed to share the sport to more locals. After some practice, a short technical course was presented to the kids and a small competition for girls and boys was held at the end of the practice.

Nely showed great teaching skills, while Silver's elder kid Angel out leveled the beginners. At 7 years old and having used the boards provided to the family by our friends in Peru, his balance, footwork and stroke skills were outstanding.

They happily left with their medals and goodies and we were stoked to share the love for Sup at 3.800 masl.
