Everything you need to know
What's SUP?
SUP is short for Stand Up Paddle. It means you will stand on top of a board -kind of like a big massive surfboard- with a paddle in your hands. With this paddle you can move yourself through the beautiful canals of Amsterdam.
While Supping you’re not just experiencing Amsterdam uniquely, you’re also training your complete body. While supping, you’re using more than 95% of all your muscles, whatup!
Supping is one of the fastest growing watersports of this moment and once you have tried it, you know why!
Do I need lessons or experience?
No, everyone can do it! You only need to be able to swim and have a little sense of balance, but you will get the hang of it in no-time! If not, you can still SUP on your knees or rent a kayak seat to transform your SUP into a kayak, and you’ll have the same experience.
What should I bring?
Bring some swimshorts, flip-flops, and some sunscreen if necessary:)
You can leave your belongings, such as extra clothes or backpacks, with us. There is always someone there, and we have lockers, but we are not responsible for your belongings. Do you want to take your valuables (Phone or camera is advised!) with you on the water? We will provide waterproof bags.
You can also rent a “special filled drybag”, filled with a map with routes and a cold beverage for €5,-. Or buy one for €15,- to store your valuables.
What if it rains the day I booked?
If it rains, you can reschedule yourself for another time, or get a full credit. We want you to have a good sunny experience!
Do I need a wetsuit?
Depends on the weather;)
But we don’t believe you really need a wetsuit. The water is nice in the summer! And the board is very stable, which means you hopefully won’t fall in the water;) Nevertheless, falling is always a possibility. You can rent a wetsuit with us for €5,-
We do recommend you to get into those swimming trunks/bikini’s, or put on clothes that can get wet, just in case. Your shoes can get a bit wet as well, you can either store them on your SUP, or bring your slippers!

We recommend bringing your phone and/or a (small) camera with you because you’ll definitely want to Instagram the hell out of your SUP experience!
Is there a minimum age?
Basically we have no minimum age, SUPPING is for everyone, as long as you are able to swim! If you are under 16 and you want to rent our sups, please contact us.
Can I give SUPPING as a present?
Definitely! You can give an awesome experience on the canals to your loved ones:)
What about the SUP board?
Our SUP boards are brand new and perfect for beginner and intermediate suppers.
Where can we SUP?
You are free to explore the canals and waters of Amsterdam. Keep in mind that you have to cover the same distance on the way back. We can advice you on the best routes and hotspots and which time you should rent the SUP to cover them.
