LOVELY PADDLEBOARDING WHILE ENJOYING THE BEAUTIFUL NATURE OF THE ARDENNES!
Stand Up Paddling is an activity for everybody, athletes and couch potatoes alike, young and old. First read some practical tips to make your SUP outing successful. Have fun!
PRACTICAL INFO
* Do you know the location? It's "Barrage de Nisramont". Not in the village of Nisramont but down in the valley, by the river.
* You can park your car and take, after the roundabout, a small footpath to the left. We are up there with our gear, or nearby the water. In high season the parking can be crowded, so take extra time to find a spot.
* Life jackets are included in the price. You can rent a wetsuit for 5€ when available (only adult sizes).
* Children 6 and older may participate. A life jacket is mandatory. Children aged 6 to 12 can paddle by themselves, but must be accompanied by an adult.
* Be sure to always use a cord when wearing (sun)glasses on the board!
* Don't forget to wear sun screen or bring a cap, water (no non-returnable bottles please!), swimwear or quick-drying clothing.
* We usually go paddleboarding barefoot or while wearing water shoes.
* The lake of Nisramont is not a simple round lake. It is a part of the river Ourthe, stopped by a dam. Behind the dam you can paddle at least 2km away and 2km back. The green area is classified by "Natura 2000".
