Stand up Paddle (SUP) boarding is pure and meditating activity. With time, SUP is gaining popularity in the masses. Many training schools have opened alongside the ocean, river, and lake around the world.
People believe it as an activity, however. Few still see it as a sport. Once you have experienced SUP, it brings snooping in you to go for it repeatedly. It’s an enriching activity.
Snooping is the reason why most people once go for SUPing and never end. It has the potential to keep you away from a variety of diseases. The act is engaging, which is why you glide through the water while standing on the board.

Usually, the cold temperature in Netherland goes below the freezing point. In winter, Amstel River is recommended because it doesn’t go below the freezing point.
Italy
After you have taken a picture at Pisa Tower and Colosseum, hop to a beach in Italy for a paddle board. How can you forget Venice? Travel the canals on the paddleboard.

To have a rugged SUP destination, Fjords of Norway is the best place. They are situated on the western coast of Norway. Fjords allow SUPers to cruise on the water surrounded by the snow-capped mountains. If you want to explore Fjords thoroughly, we urge you to take a week’s SUP trip to Norway.
