Summary
This manual includes the rules set by the french na-
tional authority regulating the practice of sup.Make
sure your comply with the regulation sets by the
local authorities wherever you practice.
For SUP’s that fall into the category of beach
vessels (under 3.5 m long), they are required to
stay within 300 m of the coastline.
For SUP’s that are longer than 3.5m or 11’6ft,
they are no longer considered beach vessels.
They are allowed to go beyond 300 m, but not
further than 2 miles.
Beyond 300 m, basic security equipment is re-
quired, related to the characteristics of the ves-
sel and mandatory within 2 miles of shelter.
You should be equipped with:
∙ An individual floating devise or a protective suit:
∙ A lifejacket or a neoprene wetsuit.
∙ A personal strobe light.
∙ A towing apparatus: the leash insert and leash
meet these requirements.
WARNING: The inflatable SUP’s longer than 3.5 m are allowed beyond 300 m under the
single condition that they are constituted of at least 2 inflatable compartments. Hence the
SUP’s that have only one inflation valve are not allowed beyond 300 m. Do not use this pro-
duct if the wind is more than 10 knots or in case of a storm or lightning.
Here are the safety guidelines to use while practicing in different bodies
of water (These conditions do not need to be followed in a supervised
context) :
