SUP Spirit shows you Hoorn and the surrounding area from the water. You can hire a board or set off with an instructor – on your own, with your family or as a group. Get paddling, feel the wind in your hair. A day out can be that simple.
Who is this a good site for?
For families with children aged 8 and over. For groups of friends looking for something active to do. And for teams who’d rather go paddling than hold meetings in a conference room.
When will you visit here?
From spring to late summer, this is the place to be. Choose a dry afternoon with little wind. Then you can glide smoothly on your board through Hoorn or another location by arrangement.
What to expect.
You step onto your board, paddle in hand, water beneath your feet. First, you find your balance. Then the rhythm comes naturally. You hear the paddle cutting through the water and see Hoorn from a different perspective. An instructor will give you guidance. Without an instructor, you can paddle on your own.
Practical information
Allow 1 to 2 hours …

Practical information
Allow 1 to 2 hours if you’re hiring a SUP yourself. A private SUP session lasts 75 minutes. Tours usually last 90 minutes and are available for groups of 5 or more people. The setting depends on the chosen location; SUP Spirit operates in Hoorn and at other locations by arrangement. Parking therefore varies depending on the starting point. Stand-up paddleboarding requires balance and the ability to get on and off the board independently. As a result, it is not automatically accessible to everyone.
