Line Up

Discover stand-up paddling and kitesurfing in complete safety around Pornic with Line Up!

Something for everyone
Stand-up paddle tours are supervised by Romain, a state-qualified instructor. He will welcome you with professionalism and good humour to pass on his passion for board sports and help you progress during your stand-up paddle tour (or for your kitesurfing course, an activity also offered by the school) in complete safety, adapting his teaching methods according to each person's pre-requisites.

Stand-up paddling: a fun and sporting experience

Alone or in groups (with family, friends...), Stand-Up Paddle is a fun activity accessible to everyone from the age of 10. Armed with a paddle and standing on your board, come and discover the gentle beauty of the Loire coastline.


Departing from Pornic, Quai l'Herminier or Plage de Gourmalon, the paddleboat trips will take you to unique and unspoilt sites: superb 19th-century villas, rocky points, small sandy coves, fisheries on the Côte de Jade facing the Baie de Bourgneuf and the Ile de Noirmoutier. This unspoilt environment is an ideal playground for stand-up paddle excursions.


Line Up is a touring school, and we also offer a range of courses, particularly on the Côte d'Amour between Saint-Nazaire and Pornichet. The wind is the paddle's enemy, so the activity will generally take place in the morning to take advantage of a flat, pleasant stretch of water. Depending on the day's weather conditions, the time slots can be extended to the whole day or even to the evening after 7pm, with sunset 'afterwork' sessions.
