My wife and i have scheduled a sup pad lesson at the Kadıköy sailing club for 10am. We are excited to learn how to use a sup pad and can't wait to get started. After driving for 40 minutes to reach Kadıköy, we were hit with intense heat.
Even in the heat. It was amazing!!
There were not only sup paddle lessons but also many different sea sports such as windsurfing and boat training.
It was really crowded and there were a lot of teachers and students, I think windsurfing is very popular among Turkish youth.
I avoid taking pictures of people without permission, so I couldn't take pictures of them during class, they told us we had to leave our phones inside, we would drop them in the water while sup paddle :))
But than i asked my wife to take a picture of me after SUP
Let me tell you a little bit about how to SUP ;
It's actually very simple, the teacher taught us how to control for about 5 minutes, where is the front and back of the paddle, if you row from the right, you will row left, if you row left, you will go right, if you row from the right, you will turn right, if you row from the left, you will turn quickly to the left, and she warned us not to get too close to other students, she couldn't trust us :))
Unfortunately we couldn't take pictures at that time because our phones were left in the locker rooms, Ill sharing a link with you for you can see how people are doing it.
Yes, we had filled an hour and we were tired, while we're getting ready to leave there, i saw a very cute friend come for sup pad,of course she allowed us to take a few pictures and even let us share them with you :)
No, this story does not end here :)
Then we went home and did our daily routine, rested for a bit and go out again!
We bought our "MAYSA" coffees from a place whose coffees are very delicious and set off for the beach again to watch the sunset.
There are so many coastlines in Istanbul, we always have the opportunity to go to different places and sit, we always have folding chairs in the car and we can sit where we like, watch the view and talk. Because it is a crowded city, it is not usually calm and quiet, but we are trying to find this place,where we went today was a little quieter and mostly couples were sitting there.
Even though it was evening, the weather was hot,we didn't have a chance to walk much there, after spending some time we decided to go home. But we found a nice place and we were sure we would come again.
Many thanks for reading, you can leave your questions and opinions about the sup pad in the comments.
HAVE A NICE DAY !
