Stand-up paddling, or SUP for short, remains a trendy sport and is very popular along the North Sea.
In this sport, you stand on a surfboard and propel yourself forward with a paddle. Its simplicity makes it easy even for beginners to learn quickly. It’s also a great full-body workout, as it engages your arms, legs, and core while improving your sense of balance.
This low-impact endurance workout is suitable for all ages—and even for your dog!
So—what are you waiting for? Grab your paddle, hop on the board, and let the balancing act on the water become a real pleasure! By the way, there are several spots on the Eiderstedt Peninsula where you can try out this cool sport.
The wide sandy beach at St. Peter-Ording, with its dune landscape and view of the stilt houses, offers a dreamlike backdrop. In addition, the water here is very shallow, making it easy to try standing up on the board for the first time. Windless days are especially recommended for this.
Our tip: The X-H2o water sports center on Ording Beach offers a wide range of courses for beginners and advanced riders.
Paddle on your board on the North Sea and let your gaze wander over the water—you can do that at the swimming dike in Vollerwiek and at the Stufhusen swimming area in Westerhever, set against the idyllic backdrop of the green dike.
If you’d like to try stand-up paddleboarding in the extraordinary river landscape of the Eider and Treene, Friedrichstadt is the perfect place for you. On a SUP, you’ll experience the city in a whole new way as you paddle leisurely through the romantic canals. Venture out and explore the surrounding Eider and Treene rivers on your board. It’s well worth it!
