Stand Up Paddleboarding in one of the fastest growing activities in the world. It is even considered to become and to be applied for a new Olympic discipline in Tokio 2020. Active Slovenia is a playground of numerous athletes and tempting waters for stand up paddle boarding. In the year 2015, Slovenia’s important global contribution is the first self-inflating, jet-propelled stand up paddleboard by SipaBoards in the world.

SUP or Stand Up Paddleboarding is a fun, relaxing and somewhat addictive activity on the water, in which you are standing on a large stable SUP surfing and paddling. Beautiful lakes, calm rivers, peaceful seas or waves ... there are no limitation. SUP on the Bled Lake or Bohinj Lake with the magnificent view on the surrounding Alpine peaks. Paddle on the Ljubljanica River and experience Ljubljana in a unique way. With salty wind in your hair, Sup around the picturesque Piran peninsula or on the Moon Bay at Strunjan.

You take your SUP, pick a destination and have fun by yourself or in a company with your friends and family. At first glance, it might look easy but you soon realize your whole body is working, which is why SUP is a great exercise. Be active on the waters of Slovenia, surrounded by green nature. Discover hidden places, accessible only by water.

In April, a small startup from the foothills of the Slovenian Alps launched its patented innovation on Kickstarter, attracting more than enough support to launch a serial production. Industry experts also took note, labelling Sipaboards the future of the sport business. Their speciality: self-inflammable sup boards. When the campaign ended, the team started production immediately, manufacturing the entire SUP’s central propulsion and compressor unit in Slovenia. The jet engine offers beginners who learn to paddle the balance and stability to focus on enjoying themselves and learning proper technique. Experienced paddlers will love the extra time and range they have on the water.
