These topics await you in SUP 1/2023
A new issue of SUP will be waiting for you on newsstands from 2 May, this time in a double pack with a new special issue on wingfoiling! You can look forward to these tests, tours and reports!

It's been relatively cold here for a long time, but now spring is slowly coming round the corner. Just the right time to finally get back on the SUP and make the first paddle strokes of the year. We've been out on the water in the toughest conditions and have tested numerous boards and paddles for the new SUP magazine. We also show you some great tours and lots of exciting tips about SUP in the new magazine!

Using four new paddles as examples, we show you how you can save up to 300 euros with just a few compromises. The SUP testers have also put together their top 10 paddles - with normal and thin tube diameters!

From the completely rethought sport tourer concept to compact boards, from hardboards to iSUPs: we have tested special SUPs from all classes. Each one is a speciality and remarkable in its own right.

Travelling and tours with the SUP can be very different: from a river tour in the Oberpflanz or a city tour through Lübeck canals to a circumnavigation of the Greek island of Lefkas to a crossing of the Alps by bike and SUP or a tour in the Danish South Sea, we show exciting travel reports. A special highlight is the photo story from Greenland - paddling in the eternal ice!

Also in the new issue:

  • How iSUPs are repaired
  • Paddling correctly - basic paddling technique on the SUP
  • Interview with Indiana boss Maurus Strobel
  • First aid kit for paddlers - a must-have
  • How much pressure does the board really need?
  • Fit for SUP: Exercises for paddlers
  • Great parts for the tour: six practical items for SUP athletes

Tobi is our digital man, he looks after the surf website and social media channels and gets on everyone's nerves every morning by asking for more pictures and videos. His surfing CV includes all the famous choppy water spots: As a teenager, he went from his home in Münsterland to the Ijsselmeer or the Brouwersdam, and during his civilian service on Sylt, after countless washes on the west side, the Königshafen became his preferred spot. After studying in Kiel and Heidkate, he was supposed to go to Hamburg “only for a short time”, but this short time has lasted for over ten years and has made him a “weekend warrior”. He goes on tour with his family and camper van as often as possible, often to the Baltic Sea, SPO or Denmark, but also likes to go to Finland, Sweden or Sardinia.
