SUP at sunrise in Copacabana
Gliding on a stand‑up paddleboard as the sun rises over Copacabana is magical. The sea in the early morning is calm and the golden light reflecting off the water creates stunning scenes. The activity is gentle but brings peace and inspiration. The instructor was attentive, caring, and gave great tips on posture and safety.
