Copenhagen SUP
The clean waters of the Copenhagen canals sets the perfect scene to explore the beautiful city from a paddleboard!
We therefore encourage everybody who loves to paddle, to join our mass participation event, Copenhagen SUP, and experience the world championship long-distance course and the festive vibe of the Copenhagen Paddle Festival!
The Course
Our event will take place in the heart of Copenhagen, starting at the impressive Black Diamond. The course guides you through the beautiful canals of Christianshavn and past Christiansborg – the same course that the world championship athletes will compete on later in the day. If this sounds daunting, fear not! Because at Copenhagen SUP you can choose between two courses: "Fun Explore" and "Pro Explore" making the event fun for paddlers of all levels to participate in!
Am I skilled enough to join the race?
If you are wondering whether or not you have the skills needed to join the SUP race, Copenhagen SUP, rest assured! Though it is a frequently asked question, we want to reassure everybody that they are not only able but welcome to join Copenhagen SUP, regardless of their level of experience. This race is suitable to all people who own a SUP board and have taken it for a spin a few times.

We have teamed up with Mindzone

Mindzone works to equate mental health with physical health and offers mental strength training for all 10-19 year olds. Through a combination of mental and physical activities, participants in Mindzone become more aware of themselves, better at standing by themselves, and recognizing their strengths.
