On Saturday we ventured down to our favourite spot at the Sempachersee to try out our new paddle boards. Having first tried SUPs a few years ago on the sea in Rhodes, we decided that this water sport would be a lovely thing to experience on the Swiss lakes. We found our new boards to be quite forgiving and after a few collisions with the reeds, quickly began admiring the mountain views from an upright position!

Onboarding

We knew the fun we had in store

When we bought stand up paddle boards

For back in Rhodes, the bug we‘d caught

and we loved this new water sport

Some laughs we had, oh yes indeed

At one point I plunged into reeds

but soon I learned to steer my SUP

Such freedom when I could stand up!

For there is something quite unique

To look up onto mountain peaks

whilst gliding…
