Intro
Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a trendy water sport that has become very popular in Zurich as well. There are various opportunities to learn this sport.
If you want to discover the city of Zurich from a different perspective, you should book a city tour by stand-up paddle board. The tour will take you from the shores of Lake Zurich across the lake to Schanzengraben. Experienced SUP instructors will reveal their best tricks for safe paddling practices and tell you all kinds of stories from the city’s past during the tour. Incidentally, this SUP city tour is a particularly impressive experience at night by the light of a full moon.

Another provider, Supkultur Zurich, has a total of three rental stations in the city (at the Strandbad Tiefenbrunnen, Strandbad Mythenquai and Seebad Utoquai) and offers basic courses for both adults and children.

Finally, here’s the ultimate insider tip: SUP yoga on Lake Zurich! The provider “Sup Yoga Zürich” offers regular courses at the Seebad Enge. Various yoga poses (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayamas) are practised on the SUP board directly. Outer instability strengthens internal balance: the special thing about SUP yoga is the absolute tranquillity of your “very own island”, the inaccessibility, the calming effect of the water, the gentle rocking of the waves, the fresh air and the beauty of the natural surroundings.
