It\u2019s called BIKE, SUP &amp; DWS, and it has three legs: ride there by bike, paddle there on a board, and climb a cliff right above the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The three legs in order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BIKE. An ordinary bicycle powered by nothing but your legs. Mine is a mountain hardtail, meaning a frame with no rear suspension and a suspension fork up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SUP. An inflatable board you stand on and paddle with a single-blade paddle, known as a stand up paddle board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DWS. Deep water solo, climbing coastal rocks without a rope. The water itself is your protection, so there has to be enough depth under the route for a fall to end in a swim, not an injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where the idea came from<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It all started about two years before the \u201cofficial\u201d launch. I was climbing sea cliffs near Sozopol when I spotted a guy on a SUP calmly gliding along the rocks. I had seen paddle boards before, of course, but only at beaches. It had simply never occurred to me that you could take one into such wild spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s when the picture came together. The most interesting DWS lines can\u2019t be seen from shore, and many can\u2019t be reached on foot. From the water, the cliffs look completely different. You could drive the board to the sea, but that\u2019s boring, and more to the point, I don\u2019t own a car. So the way to the water had to be by bike. And the three activities merged into one on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"yvq-tv\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BIKE, SUP &amp; DWS\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h0Fsn82XFa4?feature=oembed&#038;hl=en&#038;cc_lang_pref=en&#038;rel=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"yvq-tv__panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"yvq-tv__slots\"><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><\/span><span class=\"yvq-tv__brand\">Yoga vs Qigong<\/span><span class=\"yvq-tv__yy\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"50\" r=\"50\" fill=\"#325FB5\"\/><path d=\"M50 0A50 50 0 0 1 50 100Z\" fill=\"#EE2A38\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"25\" r=\"25\" fill=\"#EE2A38\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"75\" r=\"25\" fill=\"#325FB5\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"25\" r=\"7.5\" fill=\"#325FB5\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"75\" r=\"7.5\" fill=\"#EE2A38\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/div><\/div><p class=\"yvq-tv__langs\" style=\"margin:.7em 0 0;text-align:center;font-size:.85rem;line-height:1.4;color:#6C605F;\">Audio &amp; subtitles: EN \u00b7 BG \u00b7 RU (\u2699 in the player)<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why these three<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This triathlon brings together almost everything I love and know how to do. Cycling, especially in hilly terrain, loads the legs, builds endurance, and is great training for your breathing. Climbing teaches balance, flexibility, precision, and focus; I have long called it yoga on the wall. And the board isn\u2019t really new to me, quite the opposite: it has a bit of freeriding, ski touring, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing all in one. On my very first day on the waves I got the same feeling as riding a snowboard through fresh powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a broader sense, for me this is the same practice as qigong and tai chi: movement joined with breath, and a person joined with nature. On a climb, the inhale and exhale set the pace, and once your breathing falls apart, you ride on stubbornness alone. Paddling quickly finds its own steady rhythm too, and the breath settles in with the strokes. On the rock, a couple of slow exhales before a hard move help the body stop tensing up. If you want to learn to control your breathing on purpose, the <a href=\"https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/en\/pranayama\/\">pranayama breathing practices<\/a> are a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the first year showed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A year later I can say the triathlon turned out very well balanced in terms of load, and genuinely technical at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bike is in charge of endurance. You usually ride over rough terrain and carry a load, since the board and gear travel with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The board gives you access to cliffs you can\u2019t reach from shore. But that isn\u2019t simple either: you have to fight the waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climbing above the sea remains the highlight of the whole route. You have to pick a safe line, prepare a spot to start from, and remember that the rock can be wet, brittle, or sharp. There are plenty of small details like that, and your safety depends on them. So don\u2019t try DWS without climbing experience and without checking the depth under the cliff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/blog-52-20250627-131056-scaled-optimized.webp\" alt=\"All three legs in one day: the road by bike, the paddle board, and climbing a cliff above the water\" class=\"wp-image-1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/blog-52-20250627-131056-scaled-optimized.webp 1400w, https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/blog-52-20250627-131056-scaled-optimized-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/blog-52-20250627-131056-scaled-optimized-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/blog-52-20250627-131056-scaled-optimized-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/blog-52-20250627-131056-scaled-optimized-600x338.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All three legs in one day: the road by bike, the paddle board, and climbing a cliff above the water<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"yvq-tv\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BIKE, SUP &amp; DWS - \u0440\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e \u0433\u043e\u0434 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u043c\u0443\u043b\u044c\u0442\u0438\u0441\u043f\u043e\u0440\u0442\u0443!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xzl7RY6O5vc?feature=oembed&#038;hl=en&#038;cc_lang_pref=en&#038;rel=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"yvq-tv__panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"yvq-tv__slots\"><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><\/span><span class=\"yvq-tv__brand\">Yoga vs Qigong<\/span><span class=\"yvq-tv__yy\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"50\" r=\"50\" fill=\"#325FB5\"\/><path d=\"M50 0A50 50 0 0 1 50 100Z\" fill=\"#EE2A38\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"25\" r=\"25\" fill=\"#EE2A38\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"75\" r=\"25\" fill=\"#325FB5\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"25\" r=\"7.5\" fill=\"#325FB5\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"75\" r=\"7.5\" fill=\"#EE2A38\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/div><\/div><p class=\"yvq-tv__langs\" style=\"margin:.7em 0 0;text-align:center;font-size:.85rem;line-height:1.4;color:#6C605F;\">Audio &amp; subtitles: EN \u00b7 BG \u00b7 RU (\u2699 in the player)<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climbers, cyclists, paddlers, and anyone who loves moving outdoors: tell me what you think of the idea.
