Description
This is a sports organisation centred on Stand Up Paddle Boarding. This club was established with the goal of making sports inclusive for all, while advocating against discrimination in any form. The club aims to promote water sports in Mersin, foster a stronger connection between people and nature as well as the sea, and revive age-old relationships. With this perspective in mind, it seeks to motivate individuals to engage in sports, participate within a social-cultural setting, and adopt an environmentally conscious approach. Ultimately, its aim is to cultivate a community that is caring, empathetic,and prioritizes healthy living.
Mersin is a coastal city with 300 days of sunshine a year and a very long beach where you can swim. We can meet the sunrise together with our guests and enjoy the pleasure of doing this sport in the sea, rivers and lakes.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As we are a sports community that appeals to people of all ages. In our events, we can be 20 or 30 people, sometimes 100 people. Sports, local cuisine, camping, music, conversation and entertainment is an experience we will offer to our community and our guests who will be with us. We play volleyball once a week. We have quiz nights. We try to fulfil our environmental and climate goals. Our guests will be in a friendly environment with us in all these processes.
Projects involving children

Help
We will wake up together with the workawayers, go to the SUP spot together and do the pre-sport preparation together. For example, moving the boards from one place to another. Afterwards, we will be together to guide and help the guests who come to the sea to SUP.
At the end of each event, we also have the task of collecting the boards together and leaving the area clean.
We have two active employees and four periodically.

We can cook the meals together or the guest can cook if they want. We offer and provide the food for workawayers.

Our house is very close to public transport to the city centre. Places to visit, museums, seaside promenade are very close to everywhere. We have a dog in the garage of our house. Sometimes she can stay in our house or in our garden. Unfortunately, it is not possible for the guest to bring guests.
