“It giet oan”, that’s what Dutch people say when they believe the Eleven City Tour is going to take place! The SUP 11-City Tour will be paddled from September the 4th until the 8th! This is the 4th edition of the SUP 11-City, Anne-Marie, the founder of the Tour will even paddle the whole tour for the 5th time in her life.

During the SUP 11-Cit yTour the athletes will experience the ultimate challenge as they paddle 220 kilometers (136 miles) in five days in weather conditions ranging from windless, beautiful and sunny to cold, rainy and stormy.
Over 150 national and international paddlers from around the world (Hawaii, USA, France, Norway, Denmark, Australia and New Zealand) get to know Friesland, the northern province of Holland, from the water. Top male Riders include last year’s winner Bart de Zwart (Hawaii) who recently paddled from UK to Holland and Casper Steinfath (Denmark). Check out who else has singed up here.
Participants paddle the original waterways, where ice skaters started conquering this historical tour 101 years ago on frozen waters. SUP 11-City supporters come from all over the country and from all over the world to Friesland to encourage participants from bridge tot bridge, and from town to town.
