Why SUP rental works well from Pogradec
Stand up paddleboarding is one of the best ways to experience Lake Ohrid at a slow pace. The sandy entry in Pogradec makes it easier to launch, kneel first, stand when ready, and return without climbing over rocks. The best SUP rental sessions are usually early in the day, when the water has less texture and the mountains reflect across the lake.

Beginner tips
- Start on your knees until you feel the board move under you.

- Use the life vest and leash provided with the board.
- Choose morning if balance, photos, or a calm first experience matter most.
