Stand-up paddleboarding on Lake Sempach / Photo: Beat Brechbühl
Paddle across Lake Sempach on an SUP board, enjoy the wonderful setting and let the breeze ruffle your hair. You can rent all the equipment you need for an SUP session right by the lake, across the road from Nottwil railway station.
Even without any prior SUP experience, you’ll soon be paddling safely and stably on the large surfboard. As a sport that’s easy to pick up, it’s suitable for everyone.
It’s said to have originated with Polynesian fishermen, who paddled their canoes off Tahiti standing up. SUP was later a convenient way for surf instructors in Hawaii to get from the shore to wave-breaking reefs and back using a paddle.
