Simply walking on water
Using a surfboard differently
Standup Paddleboarding (SUP) – a sport which is still rather unknown in this part of the world but is a traditional way of locomotion overseas. It has its roots in the Hawaiian archipelago. Hawaiians used logboats with one paddle to reach fishing grounds or reefs which were difficult to access.
In our region, the SUP-board is also used for locomotion in fact, not to find your luck in fishing but rather to relax while gliding across the Schlei and to enjoy the atmosphere on the water. One board, one paddle – that's all you need to walk on water.
Indeed, you don't have the range of a sailing boat or a canoe, but that's exactly the way to discover the Schlei region even more intensely. Using the board, you can almost go ashore at every bathing spot, beach, stage and harbour to discover the many places at the Schlei and then drift along with the current again.
