Years ago I had the dream to paddle on a SUP from Switzerland to the Netherlands. Always when I was close to realize this idea, something came in between. Corona changed many plans, so it was time to pick up this old dream. In April 2020 I started building a wooden SUP in my workspace in the Netherlands. In the beginning of August 2020 my journey from Switzerland to the Netherlands could finally start.
This film gives you an impression of the building process of my wood SUP and the 27 days of expedition trough Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands (950km).

I love the simplicity of your presentation. No music, just subtitles- very inspirational.

No over-exagerated fake emotions in an American voice, this is great. He learnt a lot in the Netherlands. Doe maar gewoon, hè?

@sisaktamas 3 года назад

I was 🤞 for the same and wasn’t disappointed. I don’t know if the idea of the journey proved it’s feasibility to me but I’m sure it was a monumental adventure. I mean I’d rather go by bike.

Loved every second of it. - No music, instead we got to hear to wind, raindrops and every soothing sound of the paddle wading through the water. - choice is text font was superb and perfect for the video - Pacing of each cut was fantastic, not lingering on one scene too long, almost making us crave more. - Lastly, the camera shots of your paddling away from the shore... those must've been tedious to set up. Well worth the shots though! Thank you for this!

I have no idea why for some people SUP seems to be more attractive than kayak, canoe or any boat. Moving forward on this seems to be very exhausting especially in some longer trips. Anyway I'm impressed by you achievement. Best regards from Poland!

@GALENGODIS 3 года назад

I think it is about the perspective. You get a better view than in a canoe. I'm no SUP expert, but I think that could be one of the reasons.

@Bladavia 3 года назад

Also because it's 1. Cheaper/easier to build yourself like he did. 2. Lighter and easier to drag around. As you can see in the video, the large rivers in Europe are heavily built, there are dams, locks, industries, ... so you often have to get out of the water and walk. But yeah once you're in the water, I prefer the kayak too.

@F40PHWIN 3 года назад

Check out Swift pack boats. They are a kayak/canoe hybrid. With the carbon fiber models you can have a 14 foot boat that weighs 22 pounds / 10 kg.

@bensmith4563 3 года назад

I physically couldn't do the sup id hate it I have a hard enough time keeping a canoe upright

@Hayley Nash Don’t waste money on lessons! Instead just buy a inflatable board, pump it up and learn by doing it. It’s really easy and to me it has been a great addition in life! Daily workout 🏋️

@NigelMarston 3 года назад

I am a frustrated adventurer. I usually travel by car but since the pandemic, I have started cycling and I appreciate "man power" more and more. Your adventure is absolutely brilliant and although I think I would love to have a water-based adventure, I felt quite anxious watching the strong currents and the large boats near to you. Perhaps I might try something in a boat instead. But kudos to you for doing this and for your video with no music spoiling the experience. The sounds of the water around you are quite wonderful.
