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 three courses: "Easy Explore", "Fun Explore" and "Pro Explore" making the event fun for paddlers of all levels to participate in!

We have teamed up with Mindzone
When you sign up for Copenhagen SUP, you are also supporting the Non-profit organisation Mindzone, whose mission is to strengthen the well-being of children and young people through community and experiences of success. 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.
