FAQ ## How to choose the right _Taipei SUP_? 01 ### Which venue offers SUP experiences at Longdong and Fulong in the Northeast Coast?+ 02 ### Which venue offers the best chance for stunning aerial photos?+ 03 ### Which venue offers SUP experiences at Shen'ao Elephant Trunk Rock?+ 04 ### Which venue is best for long-term SUP experiences and challenging different routes?+ 01 ## f6 Fanatic Hair Design Fanatic Taiwan PLATE 01–03 ### Fanatic Taiwan About the Venue Introduction Fanatic Taiwan is a highly visible Taipei SUP venue on social media, offering diverse routes from Fulong and Shen'ao Elephant Trunk Rock to Guishan Island. Its experience tours vary in difficulty, with options for beginners like Waishuangxi and Longdong on the Northeast Coast, as well as more advanced challenges at Fenlin and Wushijiao, catering to players of all skill levels. SUP experiences are typically small-group professional lessons, with one board per person, ensuring each participant receives ample guidance. Since tour locations and times are not fixed, detailed information must be inquired via Facebook or LINE official accounts, allowing for flexible booking. The venue provides professional-grade equipment, and paddles can be adjusted to individual height, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal for photos. To ensure safety, beginners start practicing in calm waters; for sea routes, which may be further offshore, participants must be able to walk independently while holding the board. A major highlight of the tour is the included photography service. Coaches use a DSLR camera or drone to document the experience, depending on the conditions. The team also carefully guides participants on posing and expressions to help them capture satisfactory images. However, it's important to note that drone photography is an added-value service and not a guaranteed part of every tour. ### Fanatic Taiwan Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Taipei SUP: The Hottest Instagram Picks REVIEWED BY [Amber](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/amber-yu/) Amber's experience with Coach Cathy at Elephant Trunk Rock for Taipei SUP was hands-on from start to finish. She was able to personally select her equipment, independently carry her board, and understand the route and wave conditions. Each participant gets their own board, and the SUP gear is not only professional but also looks great in photos, making it perfect for active influencers. Fanatic Taiwan offers a diverse range of SUP routes, which is why many participants return regularly to try different ones. Overall, Fanatic Taiwan is recommended for those who already enjoy water sports, want to explore various SUP routes, and appreciate the independence of carrying their own board and paddling. However, Fanatic Taiwan's fees are among the higher options for these activities in Taipei, so choose based on your needs. Regarding photography, Amber reminds us that the more you chase the perfect shot, the harder it is to get; enjoying the moment is what truly matters, so don't constantly ask about drone footage.

The fee includes: * Professional equipment rental * Coach and assistant instructor guidance * Activity accident insurance * On-site photography A variety of professional board types are available on-site to meet the needs of different skill levels.

Once in the water, the assistant instructor observes participants and assists with photography. Before booking, please note that all SUP experiences require a minimum of six participants to form a group. If the minimum number of participants is not met on the day of the reservation, the venue cannot run the session. It is recommended to organize your own group or inquire about joining an existing one. ### 舟遊天下 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Beginner-friendly REVIEWED BY [她塔](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E5%A5%B9%E5%A1%94/) Her SUP experience was at Zhouyou Tianxia's canoe base in Fulong Longmen. If driving, parking is NT$50; alternatively, take a local train to Fulong Station and walk about 15 minutes. The Shuangxi River boasts clear, clean water and rich riverside ecology. While learning Taipei SUP, you can admire plants like wild lilies, sea mangoes, and hibiscus, as well as egrets and kingfishers on the banks or soaring overhead. Sheta recommends finishing the day with a feast at a famous local seafood restaurant, or enjoying sand sculptures and beachcombing. Zhouyou Tianxia's SUP instruction is thorough, covering everything from basic principles to practical paddling techniques. Even those who aren't naturally athletic can master these skills, making it perfect for beginners looking to try this activity. The venue's responsiveness and comprehensive replies when arranging group bookings were impressive, and they were very willing to provide customized solutions.

Their SUP stand-up paddleboarding locations include: * Fulong Waishuangxi * Shen'ao Elephant Trunk Rock * Longdong, Northeast Coast The Elephant Trunk Rock and Longdong routes also feature popular sunrise sessions. All activities require a minimum of two participants on weekdays and six on holidays. Before each SUP session, the team provides on-land instruction. Coaches guide participants through paddling practice on a stable surface, adjusting postures individually to ensure everyone masters the basic movements before entering the water. A dedicated hut at the riverside meeting point offers storage, showers, and a resting area. This facility ensures participants don't have to worry about their belongings and can easily freshen up before and after the activity, enhancing the overall convenience and safety of the experience. The teaching model primarily focuses on small groups with one person per board, though a two-person board option is also available. Regular participants have the opportunity to explore special routes or variations like SUP yoga, making this an ideal choice for those looking to commit to the sport long-term. ### Let's Go Play 毋設限 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Expert SUP Instruction with Heartfelt Care REVIEWED BY [Amber](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/amber-yu/) Amber experienced the beginner Fulong Inner Sea route, which is calm and current-free, with a comfortable cabin for resting and a coach who focuses on detailed, careful instruction. This makes it ideal for those highly interested in Taipei SUP but feeling a bit apprehensive. If, like Amber, you fall in love with SUP after your experience, there are other routes to challenge yourself with, or even join their diverse events like Bikini Day, beach barbecues, and beer parties, offering long-term practitioners fresh experiences every time. Additionally, Let's Go Play uses the same equipment as the renowned Fanatic Taiwan, which is not only professional but also looks great in photos! On the day of the experience, a DSLR camera and drone were used, though these are unguaranteed extra services. Considering the equipment and small-group, one-person-one-board instruction, this venue has a higher price point for these activities, so you can assess your needs accordingly.

All instructors at the club hold certified SUP instructor licenses, and all tours are by reservation only; you must inquire online to confirm availability. The SUP experience offers options for one person per board or multiple people sharing a board, with large dragon boat boards available for rotation. When participants get tired, they can board a dragon boat with their companions to paddle together or rest, enhancing team interaction. In addition to paddleboarding instruction, instructors also provide water guns for participants to cool off and have fun in the hot weather. When the activity reaches the beach, snacks are provided to replenish energy, making the entire SUP experience even more thoughtful. For private group bookings, the club also designs fun competitions, such as crossing SUP boards. These team games add more joyful memories to the water activity. ### 范森 SUP 教學俱樂部 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Fun Taipei SUP with plenty of snacks REVIEWED BY [Yuna](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/yuna/) Yuna found Fansen SUP Club to be incredibly thoughtful. Before getting into the water for a Taipei SUP experience, the instructors provided detailed explanations of everything from equipment to basic movements on shore. Once in the water, the instructors were highly attentive to everyone's safety, carefully looking after each participant. They also gave timely warnings to steer clear of dangerous currents or reefs, ensuring everyone could enjoy themselves safely and fully. The Fansen instructors were professional, enthusiastic, and humorous. Water gun fights and other small activities added a lot of fun, making it easy for even first-time SUP users to enjoy the experience. Along the way, the instructors randomly took photos, and on good weather days, they even deployed drones for aerial shots. After the activity, they thoughtfully provided changing tents for participants. Yuna considers Fansen SUP Club a five-star Taipei SUP experience that pays attention to every detail.

This Elephant Trunk Rock SUP route isn't difficult, but if you love taking beautiful photos and don't want a life vest to obscure your impressive physique, it's recommended that only those comfortable in the water remove it. Don't let the beautiful scenery make you forget that SUP relies heavily on balance! However, Taiwan Zoutou does not offer the popular drone photography seen on Instagram. If you're looking for high-angle, influencer-style photos, you might want to consider other options. Taiwan Zoutou's Elephant Trunk Rock SUP route offers five different tour times, which is the most among all Taipei SUP venues. This ensures you won't miss a tour and can choose the best time based on your personal preferences or schedule!

Taipei SUP is a watersport suitable for all ages, but it's essential to consider your fitness level and physical condition when choosing a route. Before heading out, practice paddling with your instructor, and once on the water, observe the wind and wave conditions. Get comfortable with SUP paddling techniques before you start taking photos, and feel free to challenge yourself with standing paddles. Those stunning photos require core stability and balance to ensure a safe experience! Each Taipei SUP experience slot also offers different highlights. For instance, a sunrise session might reward you with a glimpse of the sun rising like a golden yolk from the sea. Morning sessions feature a sparkling blue ocean that looks beautiful in every shot, while sunset sessions offer stunning views with less sun exposure. As your skills improve, you can use your SUP to explore even more of Taiwan's hidden beach gems. In this beautiful island nation surrounded by the sea, watersports are one of the best choices for a holiday. Beyond SUP, if you're looking to explore the mysteries of the deep and escape the hustle and bustle, our guides to Taipei scuba diving or Taipei freediving will be perfect for you.
