Boating, rowing, and SUPing on the canals... There are many ways to get around the Amsterdam canals these days. But now there's something new: the Bike SUP!
Since this year, it's hot & happening: exploring the waters of the Amsterdam canals on a Bike SUP. After the enormous popularity of SUPing, the E-Sup also saw the light of day, and now there's another new innovation, namely the Bike SUP. But what exactly is it? The so-called Red Shark Bike consists of an inflatable SUP board with a bicycle construction on top. It's quite simple: find your balance on the bike, and by pedaling, the SUP moves, and you literally cycle across the water. Anyone can do it; it's very accessible and also a good workout. The pedal boat has multiple positions, so everyone can have a unique and comfortable ride.
First Bike SUP school Flying Fish eFoils
The company Flying Fish eFoils is also cleverly responding to this new trend, as they are opening the first Bike SUP school this season on the Nieuwe Meer in Amsterdam. Here you can enjoy a wonderful outing on the water with a sporty yet relaxed activity. SUPing on a bike is also very suitable for a corporate outing, bachelor party, family celebration, birthday party, or team-building activity. In addition to this, you can combine it with an eFoiling lesson at Flying Fish. With this new surf sport, you glide over the water on a flying, electric surfboard.
Bike SUP competition during Dutch Water Week
In addition to Flying Fish eFoils, The Dutch Water Week is even taking Bike SUPing to a higher level. On May 28, a Bike SUP competition in the form of a sprint race will be organized in the inner harbor of the Marineterrein in Amsterdam. The cycling participants will start a round with two people at a time, and then there will be an elimination race with multiple races, after which the winners will, of course, enter the final. It will be an exciting, but above all absurd race that has never been seen before.
In short, cycling on the canals: it doesn't get more Dutch than that!
