 As a sport and SUP enthusiast I brought SUP back to Holland (where I am born) in 2008. To promote the sport and give myself a challenge, I paddled the 11-City Tour in Friesland (the northern province of Holland) in 5 days. The 11-City Tour is a 220kilometer (136miles) long tour, originally and first performed by ice-skaters 101 years ago. My personal ultimate  challenge has now grown into an International SUP event: The SUP 11-City Tour. www.supholland.com
  1 - 5 September 2010 it is happening! Over 100 National and International athletes will start the Tour. Our main goal is to share SUP as a healthy outdoor sport with many. To stimulate children in sport and exercise, we invite school children to be part of SUP clinics during the event. We also support the good cause “Right to Play” www.righttoplay.com who improves the lives of children in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world by using the power of sport and play for development, health and peace. You can also support this cause. Check on our site how: www.supholland.com
Celebrity Stage To increase donations on behalf of “Right to Play” and to create attention for SUP, we introduce the Celebrity Stage. On our website you can see which celebrities take part in this.
Be part of the SUP 11-City Tour! You can enter as ‘solo participant’ – you can choose to compete or to do the tour (cruise). You can also participate in a team. A team has 2-5 team members. Each team member will paddle the entire day (switching during the day is not allowed). You can find information about the route, rules, fee’s and the option to book accommodation on our website.
Party The SUP 11-City Tour is not only an intense sporting event. It is also a festival with an atmosphere known in the “11-City scene”. The checkpoints in the famous 11 Cities and the finish provide a great platform for people to get together, be part of the happening and encourage the participants while the Red Bull Hummer provides music and good vibes. At the finish there’s a ‘tent village’, where SUP brands present themselves by organizing clinics. After daily prize giving ceremonies, Corona will entertain you during their after parties in a local Frisian pub.
