Intro

SUP stands for stand up paddle and is currently a very popular trend on Swiss waters. Accompanied by gentle lapping sounds of the water through rhythmic paddle strokes, feelings of independence and freedom awaken as you glide over waters - as any SUP fan will tell you!

During the last century, it was surf instructors in Hawaii who discovered that on standing up to paddle one moves very quickly and efficiently through bodies of water - and a new trend was thus born. A trend that has developed into a new recreational sport in the USA and rapidly spread to Europe. With its countless lakes and rivers, Switzerland is naturally a paradise for stand up paddlers. While beginners paddle comfortably across many a lake, more experienced professionals take to fun and action on wilder waters. And whether a tranquil glide over calm early morning waters, a paddling session at noon to compensate a stressful day, or delightful sunset views as you take to the water, SUP is an enriching sport that anyone can take to at any time of day.
