Standing on a board for two to three hours, you take everything: the chop that unbalances you, the trade wind pushing from the side, the wave in the pass that throws the paddler onto their own gear. Repeated falls eventually cost a shoulder or a knee, coral slices feet at the first short remount, and the vertical Pacific sun brings dehydration and sunstroke without warning. All of it thousands of kilometres from a hospital back home.
This kind of distance is built all year on your usual stretch of water: our stand-up paddle insurance also covers your training sessions.
A major fixture of Polynesian stand-up paddle, the Air France Paddle Festival brings together paddlers from the islands and from abroad each year in Tahiti. The 24 km elite course crosses the lagoon and exposed stretches, while the 10 km open and youth formats open the race to every level.
