Stand Up Paddling with respect for people and nature

Stand Up Paddling mit Rücksicht auf Mensch und Natur

Occasionally stand up paddling is prohibited in certain regions and on certain bodies of water. Possible reasons are safety (e.g. current, proximity to locks) as well as bird and nature conservation. So don't just set off with your SUP board, but find out about regional restrictions beforehand.

Be considerate of other water sports enthusiasts, boats and animals on the water, and personal property. Keep your distance from wild animals, especially when they have young. They may see you as a threat to their offspring. Also, do not feed any animals, fish or waterfowl.

And most importantly, don't pollute nature! It is best to take the rubbish home with you and dispose of it there.

In and of itself, stand-up paddling is an environmentally friendly sport as you don't create any unnecessary emissions or pollution. However, the SUP board is usually not very environmentally friendly as it is made from materials such as fiberglass, carbon fiber or PVC. So far, there are hardly any more sustainable variants on the market.
