INSPIRED BY THE SUP11 CITY TOUR
SUP11 X is a stand up paddle experience organisation from Friesland, The Netherlands. We want to share our enthusiasm for this sport with a worldwide community of paddlers. SUP11 X creates unforgettable travel experiences around the world that challenges the mind and body.
Based on the SUP11 City Tour in The Netherlands, SUP11 X was created by Ritske Merkus and Marije Elgersma with the aim of making multi-day racing accessible to all.
We try to arrange as much as possible in the tour, logistics and catering are very important. During most of our events you only have to worry about paddling, we will take care of the rest. If you are not able to bring your own board we have a rental option.
Safety is a key issue. Since the organizers are no first timers and connected with local paddlers, we organise safety according to local rules and our own judgement.
Working with local partners makes it possible to get the best value for money. Since we come as a group the discounts will be used to get you more for less. In the set up it’s always clear what’s included and not.
Mission
“We aim to create unforgettable travel experiences that
challenge the mind and body, with a community of like-minded stand up
paddlers. Come as a person, leave as a family. We
want to share the feeling of paddling with people from all over the
world anywhere in the world and bring these people together by
organising fun, adventurous and environmentally friendly stand up paddle
adventures with a mental and physical reset for five days.”
Vision
“We believe that sport is a way to bring people together and
creating an open-minded community. Our ambition is to do this in an
environmental friendly way.”
