STAND UP PADDLE FOR ALL
Everyone at Paddle Ibiza has at least two things in common; the love of Ibiza and the love of the sea. Stand Up Paddle is the perfect conduit to enjoy both things simultaneously.Easy for all ages and abilities to do, such a joyful activity is worth embracing. We started the company with this passion, wanting to give everybody access. Established in 2017, we have since taken hundreds of people out on our excursions and look forward to taking hundreds more. We are excited to now be expanding into rentals, creating a lot more opportunities for you. We have designed our rental packages with the concept of you adventuring around the island for as many days as you like.
Living on an island makes us very aware of how precious our natural surroundings are. We value how paddle boarding is an environmentally friendly way to enjoy being on the sea. Cruising under your own steam out on open water is a timeless and fun way to appreciate being alive.
Luke
FounderBorn and raised nowhere near the sea, I discovered surfing on a school trip when I was 12. It was a good decade before I got to surf again but my love of the sea had been ignited. Whilst working in the City I took every opportunity to explore and expand this love. After fifteen years of City life I decided to follow my heart and fully embrace my passion for the sea. It was during this journey that I discovered paddle boarding and my love for it. The fact that I could paddle any time I wanted was a revelation from my surfing perspective. The beauty lay in its simplicity and ease of access. My journey ended when I landed in Ibiza and discovered such crystal clear waters. With numerous caves, the ever-changing coastline drew me in like a siren singing from Es Vedra’s rock. Almost immediately the desire was born to share this with as many people as possible. The concept of Paddle Ibiza had begun.

Dillon was born in South west France by the ocean and lived there for most of his life. He has always been close to and comfortable in water, and discovered paddle boarding properly whilst teaching it on the lakes in Canada. Lots of kids really took to how fun and easy it was to learn and he enjoyed watching them progress.

Testimonials
“Ibizan paddle board perfection . Every time we come to Ibiza we look forward to our outings with Luke, it's the highlight of the week. It's a great way to see parts of the island you wouldn't normally be able to access, as well as to burn off the lunchtime Arroz Negro. We will be back in October and hoping to get our young kids on the board for the first time - they will be in safe hands with Luke.”
