Über SUP Hamburg

• Hamburg hat über 2400 Brücken sowie viele Kanäle und Flüsse, was es zu einem beliebten Ort für Stand Up Paddling macht. Es gibt ständig neue und interessante Routen zu entdecken.
• Die Alster, einer der größten und bekanntesten Seen in Hamburg, hat eine Fläche von 164 Hektar. Sie ist ein beliebtes Ziel für Stand Up Paddling, mit mehreren Verleihstationen und Orten, an denen man SUP-Kurse belegen kann.
• Die Wasserqualität der Alster und ihrer Kanäle ist in der Regel sehr gut, obwohl es in warmen Zeiten zu Algenblüten kommen kann. Die Stadt Hamburg überprüft daher regelmäßig die Wasserqualität.
• Mit einer Vielzahl an Cafés und Restaurants entlang der Wasserstraßen können Stand Up Paddler in Hamburg Kaffee und Kuchen direkt auf ihr Brett serviert bekommen.
• Hamburg ist eine windreiche Stadt, was insbesondere auf offenen Gewässern wie der Außenalster eine Rolle spielen kann. Hast du noch nicht so viel Erfahrung, so starte am besten auf einem der vielen Kanäle oder kleineren Seen.
• Sonnencreme & Mückenschutz: Verwende im Sommer stets Sonnencreme und Mückenspray, um Hautschäden und Insektenstiche zu verhindern.
• Tageszeit beachten: Plane SUP-Touren so, dass sie vor Dunkelheit enden, um gefährliche Situationen zu minimieren.
• Wetterbericht anschauen: Prüfe die Wetterbedingungen vor der Tour; bei schlechtem Wetter kehre um.
• Strömung respektieren: Checke die Strömungsverhältnisse im Vorhinein, um Gefahren durch starke Strömungen zu vermeiden.
• Verbote beachten: Respektiere beim Paddeln SUP Einschränkungen und Verbote , schütze die Natur und informiere dich über lokale Regeln.
• Eigene Sicherheit beachten: So schön und spaßig eine SUP Tour auch ist, vergiss deine Sicherheit nicht. Eine Restube ist aus unserer Sicht der optimale Kompromiss aus Sicherheit und uneingeschränkter Bewegungsfreiheit. Wir setzen dafür auf die Restube Active .

Anreise Hamburg:

• Wenn du aus dem Süden anreist, nimm die A7 Richtung Flensburg, verlasse die Autobahn bei der Ausfahrt Stellingen in Richtung Zentrum. Bist du im Osten unterwegs, nimm die A24 bis zur Ausfahrt Horn und folge dann den Hinweisen in Richtung Zentrum.
• Von fast jeder deutschen Großstadt aus kannst du problemlos mit der Bahn nach Hamburg reisen. Der Hamburger Hauptbahnhof ist eindrucksvoll mit seiner großen Glashalle und gleichzeitig ein hervorragender Ausgangspunkt für deine SUP-Tour, da die U- und S-Bahnen in alle Himmelsrichtungen abfahren.
• Wenn du aus dem Norden anreist, wie etwa aus Kiel oder Flensburg, ist die Bahn oft die schnellere und stressfreiere Möglichkeit, nach Hamburg zu gelangen.

Die besten SUP Touren in Hamburg & Umgebung

#1 sup-tour entlang der alsterkanäle.

• Benötigtes E rfahrungslevel : gute Anfänger/Fortgeschrittene
• Dauer : ca. 2 bis 3 Stunden
• Länge : ca. 9 Kilometer
• Ein- und Ausstiegsstelle: SUP Strand ( 53.591944, 10.026453 )
• Parkmöglichkeit : Südring ( 53.591259, 10.024920 )

Der Einstieg in diese Tour ist am Stadtpark gegenüber der Liebesinsel. Von hier aus drehst du erst einmal eine gemütliche Runde um den See. Auf der Rückseite der Liebesinsel geht es unter der Klinkerbrücke hindurch rechts in den Goldbekkanal.

Von hier aus kannst du nun direkt in Richtung Außenalster paddeln oder einen kleinen Abstecher rechts in den idyllischen Rondeelkanal machen, der dich zum Rondeelteich führt. Dieser ist übrigens ausschließlich über den Wasserweg erreichbar.

Vom Teich aus geht es in den Werfkanal. Hinter der Werftbrücke biegst du links in die Alster ein. Folge ihr bis zur Mündung in die Außenalster an der Krugkoppelbrücke. Schwenke hier links wieder in den Rondeelkanal, paddel ein Stück zurück und biege rechts in den Mühlenkampkanal ab.

Hier stößst du hinter der Brücke des Poelchaukamps auf das legendäre Café-Canale, an dessen Tresenfenster du deinen Kaffee und auch Kuchen direkt aufs Brett serviert bekommst!

Von hier aus geht es weiter bis zur Bucht Langer Zug, die die Außenalster mit dem Osterbekkanal verbindet.

Steuere dein Stand Up Paddling Board nun nach links in den etwas breiteren Osterbekkanal und paddel weiter geradeaus, unterquere die beiden Brücken und biege in den Barmbeker Stichkanal ab, der dich geradewegs in den Goldbekkanal zurückbringt.

Von hier aus sind es dann nur noch einige Paddelschläge bis zur Einfahrt in den Stadtparksee.

Die detaillierte Touren-Beschreibung mit Einkehrmöglichkeiten findest du auch in dem Buch „SUP-Guide Hamburg und Umland“ von Björn Nehrhoff von Holderberg.

#2 SUP-City-Tour auf der Außenalster

• Benötigtes Erfahrungslevel : Anfänger/Fortgeschrittene
• Dauer : ca. 4 Stunden
• Länge : ca. 13 Kilometer
• Ein- und Ausstiegsstelle: Alsterpark ( 53.572228, 10.001258 )
• Parkmöglichkeit : Parkplatz beim Anleger ( 53.573553, 10.000868 )

Diese City-Tour startet am Alstervorland. Von hier aus folgst du linksherum im Uhrzeigersinn dem Ufer und ziehst unter der Brücke dem Kanal folgend hindurch.

Paddel auf der Alster an den schönen Häusern und Gärten vorbei und biege nach der dritten Brücke rechts in den Leinpfadkanal ein und folge diesem bis zur nächsten T-Kreuzung.

Biege links ab, nach etwa 100 Metern dann nochmals links in Richtung Rondellteich, verlasse den See auf der rechten Seite und suppe nach etwa 150 Metern links in den Goldbekkanal. Folge diesem, biege dann links in den Stadtparksee ein und verlasse ihn linksherum, am „Café Sommerterrasse“ vorbei.

Hier geht es jetzt auf dem Barmbecker Stichkanal unter der Brücke hindurch bis zur nächsten T-Kreuzung. Fahre rechtsherum etwa 1,5 Kilometer dem breiten Kanal entlang.

An der Kreuzung Mühlenkamp hältst du dich links und paddelst in den schmalen Hofwegkanal, bevor es an der nächsten T-Kreuzung rechts über den breiten Kanal zurück in die Außenalster geht. Folge dem rechten Ufer, überquere den See und ziehe längs am Restaurant „Cliff“ zurück zu deinem Startpunkt.

Alternativ-Routen, die genauen Wegdaten, Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten und mehr findest du in dem Buch „SUP-Reiseführer Deutschland“ von Jan Meessen.

#3 SUP-Rundtour von der Billerhuder Insel zur City

• Benötigtes Erfahrungslevel : Gute Anfänger/Fortgeschrittene
• Länge : ca. 8 Kilometer
• Ein- und Ausstiegsstelle: Gartenanlage Löschplatz ( 53.544720, 10.050309 )
• Parkmöglichkeit : Hammer Deich ( 53.544787, 10.050867 )

Rund um die alten Gartenkolonien der Billerhuder Insel geht es recht gemütlich zu. Ergänzt wird diese Tour auf dem Süd- und Mittelkanal in die City. Einzigartig: Die Einkehr bei „Mc Boat“, dem Mc Donalds direkt am Ufer, den du mit dem SUP ansteuern kannst!

Dein Einstieg ist gegenüber der Insel am Ufer der Gartenanlage Löschplatz. Halte dich von hier aus links und paddel in Stück die Bille entlang stromaufwärts in den Rückerskanal.

Gleich hinter der Fußgängerbrücke biegst du links in den Südkanal ein und ziehe an den Speichern und Wohnblöcken vorbei.

Nach der Unterquerung vieler Brücken gelangst du in das Hochwasserbassin, wo Hamburg sich wieder von seiner schicken Seite zeigt. An der nächsten Kreuzung wählst du den rechts abgehenden Mittelkanal. Hier ist auch der Steg des SUP-Vermieters „Elbgänger“ ( http://www.sup.elbgaenger.de/ ).

Vor der übernächsten Brücke erwartet dich dann schon „Mc Boat“, wo du dir deinen Burger direkt zum Bootssteg bringen lassen kannst.

Vom Mittelkanal geht es nach ein paar hundert Metern wieder in den Rückerskanal auf die Billerhuder Insel zu. Wenn du dich hier links hältst, kannst du diese einmal umrunden, bevor du an deine Einstiegsstelle zurückkehrst.

#4 SUP-Rundtour Gose- und Dove-Elbe

• Benötigtes Erfahrungslevel : gute Anfänger/Fortgeschrittene
• Dauer : ca. 3 bis 5 Stunden
• Länge : ca. 19 Kilometer
• Ein- und Ausstiegsstelle: z.B. Kurfürstendeich ( 53.467232, 10.195056 )
• Parkmöglichkeit : z.B. Kurfürstendeich ( 53.467452, 10.195179 )

Diese Rundtour, abseits von jedem Trubel, hat viele Einstiegsmöglichkeiten und dank kaum bis nahezu keiner Strömung, kann in jede Richtung gepaddelt werden.

Dein Einstiegspunkt ist hier in am Park des Hotels in Kirchwerder.

Von hier aus paddelst du etwa 100 Meter Richtung Neuengammer Durchstich, der zirka zwei Kilometer lang und sehr dicht bewachsen ist.

Dieser Teil ist aufgrund der vielen Pflanzen manchmal etwas schwerer zu fahren.(Achtung: Wegen Vogelbrut darf der Durchstich vom 15. April bis 15. Juni nicht durchfahren werden.) Der weitere Verlauf und auch die Mündung in die Gose Elbe sind gesäumt von vielen Seerosen.

Die Gose Elbe wird mit der Zeit immer breiter und besser zu befahren. Du wirst hier sowohl die Landschaft als auch die Stille genießen, bis du die Reitschleuse erreichst.

Mit der Durchquerung gelangst du auf die Dove-Elbe. Biege rechts ab und kreuze die Regattastrecke und passiere die Allermöher Werft sowie die schönen Hausboote.

Von hier sind es etwa noch drei Kilometer bis zu deinem Ausstieg nach der Schleuse rechts.

In Kirchwerder an der Gose-Elbe befindet sich ein Boots- und Kanuverleih, der auch SUP-Boards vermietet. Dabei zählt diese Station von Paddel Meier in Hamburgs grünen Osten als die Institution zum Thema Paddeln schlechthin. Infos erhältst du unter www.paddel-meier.de

Hallo ihr Lieben, vielen Dank für die SUP-Touren in Hamburg!

Wir sind heute die Rundtour an Gose- und Dove-Elbe gepaddelt und haben sie sehr genossen. Insbesondere der Einstiegs-Tipp war super – allerdings ist irgendwas bei der Zeitangabe schiefgelaufen.

Wir sind nicht die langsamsten Paddler und haben statt 3 eher 5 Stunden gebraucht.

Zudem ist der Neuengammer Durchstich gerade gar nicht angenehm zu paddeln – es sind so viele Pflanzen unter der Oberfläche, dass man sich nur super langsam fortbewegen konnte und ständig das Board von Grün befreien musste.

Aber insgesamt eine tolle Tour im wilden Osten – super idyllisch und wenig los.

Hallo Julia,

Danke für dein Feedback zur Tour. Wir haben den Artikel etwas angepasst und deine Erfahrung mit der Strecke mitaufgenommen.

Bilder sagen mehr als Tausend Worte.

Eine kurze Karte wäre deutlich hilfreicher!

Danke für deine Rückmeldung und die konstruktive Kritik. Wir werden mal besprechen, ob wir das in Zukunft umsetzen!

Viele Grüße, Benjamin

Moin, ich habe eine Frage zum #1 SUP Tour entlang der Alster Kanäle. Kann man dort einfach mit seinem eigenem Equipment ins Wasser am Stadtparksee starten und je nach Wahl auf den Kanälen paddeln oder muss man sich dort für eine Tour anmelden?

Moin Fleming, Ja, das müsste auch mit dem eigenen Equipment möglich sein, zumindest sind uns für diesen Bereich keine Einschränkungen und Verbote bekannt.

Viel Spaß auf deiner Alster-Tour!

Once we got on, everyone else on the boat had been offered beverages. No one offered us any. As for the actual tour, it needed more time near the HafenCity for me. It spent about 10-15 minutes in that area and the rest of it was about shipping and industry. Odd. Strange. Ok. Read more Written February 28, 2024

There is an app for English speakers to listen to as they take the tour. The app was a bit out of order, but easy enough to navigate. They offer inside seating or up on the back deck. Overall, it was the highlight of my time in Hamburg during a day stop on a cruise. Lovely walk from the cruise terminal to get to the port, with a stroll through the city's famous tunnel.

Best Things To Do In Hamburg At Night

Book a private experience

September 30, 2021

Edited by Jess Wright

When asked the question what is Hamburg famous for, I have two answers; the first being that Hamburg is simply overflowing with breathtaking bodies of water – rivers, canals, and lakes, so magical and reminiscent of my childhood in Albania. The second answer? A nightlife to rival any in the world. And that’s not just my opinion either; Hamburg’s nightlife was voted best in the world by a recent survey that asked participants to vote according to affordability, local friendliness, safety, and fun factor! It’s easy to see why Hamburg is an easy winner, having all of this in abundance. What love most about the nightlife in Hamburg is the absolutely magical atmosphere! There are so many amazing things to do in Hamburg at night but I’m going to share only the best with you in this Hamburg nightlife guide. If wondering what to do in Hamburg in one day, make sure you take some time out for a nap, because tonight I’m taking you out on the town!

St. Pauli neighborhood

My first experiences of Hamburg nightlife, and now firmly one of my favourite things to do in Hamburg at night, is a night out in St. Pauli, Hamburg. This neighbourhood promises a good time to people from all walks of life – it’s not uncommon to see people in their 60s dancing in the clubs and having a fantastic time. Forming the heart and soul of Hamburg’s nightlife scene, St Pauli is famous as the Hamburg red light and party district, home to the infamous Hamburg Reeperbahn, nicknamed “die sündigste Meile” (the most sinful mile) for obvious reasons. Scattered between an eclectic mix of underground clubs, upscale cocktail lounges and affordable bars are a variety of strip clubs, sex shops, and even brothels – and most of these venues are open till dawn. With the erotic art museum nearby, you have all the ingredients necessary for sin city. Don’t be alarmed if you’re seeking a more vanilla night out; it’s not all x-rated! The streets of St. Pauli are lined with some of the best bars in Hamburg, as well as restaurants, nightclubs and discotheques. All considered, it’s the perfect example of nightlife in Hamburg, and the scene of spectacular debauchery for many a soul, from 15th century sailors to the Beatles. This vivacious neighbourhood has so much to offer I would consider letting a local show you to some of the best spots in St. Pauli at night.

Zum Silbersack

Perhaps not in every Hamburg nightlife guide, Zum Silbersack offers a worthy party – only, the student edition. This cheap student haunt is rowdy and packed to the wooden, tavern-like rafters with a cult following that has put this establishment on the map as a Reeperbahn legend, delivering cheap drinks and air-guitar ballads since 1949. If a no-frills, roll-your-sleeves-up, gritty sort of night out is what you're after then this is the spot, full with smoky atmosphere and sticky floors. Here you’re in for a serving of hearty carousing, loud and passionate singing-along, boisterous banter and of course numerous shooters washed down with Astra beer.

A far cry from humble Zum Silbersack, Le Lion offers a far more sophisticated experience. A stylish cocktail bar with a view over Hamburg, this elegant venue which is known across Germany is decorated in a manner reminiscent of bars in the fancy hotel lobbies portrayed in Hollywood films. Poised on a velvety stool across from luxurious wallpaper behind the low-lit bar, you’ll wish you were wearing a pencil skirt and heels or maybe a suit, sipping an Old Fashioned, but don’t be intimidated – though the bar exudes luxury, the atmosphere is informal and the clientele a mixed hat. Step in for a classy cocktail or two, served with an air of luxury and personal attention.

Große Freiheit 36

No good night out is complete without music to tap your toes to, and for live music Große Freiheit 36 is legendary. Famously one of the stop on the Beatles’ debaucherous exploration of Hamburg, and the venue of one of their very first gigs, before they achieved stardom! With the capacity to take an audience of 1500 enthusiastic music-lovers, this venue has hosted famous musicians across all genres ranging from pop, rock, metal, hip hop, funk and even salsa. Lit on the outside by a smorgasbord of retro neon, it’s impossible to miss and you’ll find yourself intoxicated by the energy before even stepping foot inside!

A versatile music venue, Prinzenbar is another prime spot to get you shaking your hips ‘til the small hours. While electronic and house DJs rule the roost in this baroque-style bar, it also offers live music across a variety of genres including indie, funk, reggae, and hip-hop. The striking combination of baroque-inspired chandeliers and cherubs with dramatic red lighting and gothic detailing make will make you feel as though you’ve stepped into an Anne Rice novel, and combined with spine-tingling DJ sets you might just party as though you were immortal in this memorable venue.

Sternschanze

Sternschanze, though only a short walk from the Reeperbahn, offers a distinctly alternative vibe with leftist tendencies and an almost electric atmosphere that in warmer weather spills onto the streets with jovial drinking and dancing party-goers. Perhaps one of the best examples of this quirky and somewhat strange area is the Rote Flora musical theatre; home to squatters of all ages for almost 30 years. Initially the squatters moved in as part of a political protest and, once victorious, simply never left. A walk between the two districts will lead you to many golden finds including Goldfischglas, a retro bar with diverse clientele and the funky Le Fonque. If you choose to boogie all night long be sure to stop in at Kulturhaus 73 and Uebel & Gefährlich, a former WWII bunker. For some serious off-the-beaten-track action head under the Sternbrücke bridge where you’ll find underground clubs such as Fundbureau, the Astra Stube, and the Waagenbau.

Kulturhaus 73

Truly living up to a motto that promises ‘prime variety’, Kulturhaus 73 is a venue so dynamic in its offering that you could stay from day to night. Not much to look at from the outside, a world awaits within this cultural center that combines café, bar, club, and cinema. This flexible spot is perfect to catch a live football broadcast on the big screen or a craft beer with friends. More lively among things to do include attending a music concert in the grand hall or a DJ set in the basement and you can rest assured that this is far from touristy; in fact, weekly visits to this vibrant venue have become ritual for many of the local residents.

Another must on the list of any muso, Le Fonque states its claim to fame as “excellent music”, though one could argue that liberal use of the color red could certainly be another. The intimate red-lit bar, behind an equally red façade, does indeed offer an excellent selection of music, adhering to a strict “vinyl only” policy when playing the wide variety of funk, soul, boogie, disco, and jazz. The very red bar makes for a cozy setting frequented by a local crowd and offers affordably priced fare.

Zoë II Sofabar

It might seem a strange theme to base your bar on, but Zoë II’s comfy selection of lived-in sofas and shabby-chic decor of the romantic era make for a picturesque setting, ideal for Insta snaps. By day it offers a serene cup of coffee but comes to life at night when cocktails are the preferred beverage of choice. As the evening wears on the sofas fill up, and a trendy, lively vibe takes hold. Laid-back and charming, it promises a relaxed night out and Zoe III – right next door – is equally worth a visit, if only slightly less classical in appearance.

Take in the sights of the harbor

Of course, we’re not all party animals and a milder night might be on the menu for you. In that case, why not start off the evening with a peaceful dinner at the harbour. The harbour is one of my favourite places to visit in Hamburg, and an excellent place to find your bearings. It is also the spot where you will likely be catching most of your ferries whilst exploring the city. Offering beautiful views of the ships and dark lapping waters of the River Elbe, there is a wide selection of restaurants to choose from and makes for a good place to enjoy traditional Hamburg specialties like Fickenwerder Scholle, a fish dish widely available in Hamburg.

Speicherstadt

What better way to spend a romantic evening than on a boat, gently navigating the canals of this UNESCO world heritage site. Stop off for a stroll through the artfully lit alleys and canals, enjoy the aromas of roasting coffee and spice as you wind between warehouses that forms part of one of the largest trading posts in the world. You will be hard-pressed not to admire the ingenuity of the fleets – canals that work with the tides, filling and emptying to allow travel by ship. Traveling the narrow canals aboard a small barge, you’ll have the perfect vantage point to enjoy breathtaking architectural details, tactfully illuminated and shimmering in the reflection of the water below.

Went to Hamburg pre and post Wacken Open Air and there wasn't a single night we didn't go to this... read more

The staff was extra friendly and the music was great - my friends who are totally into hard rock... read more

Decent music and crowd

We came here fairly late at night, so the place was probably a bit quieter than normal. The crowd seemed good, with mainly scene metallers (long black hair, metal patch jackets etc). The music was 90's and 00's heavy/hair metal, with a bit of thrash. We enjoyed the front bar room, but found the room at the back to be a bit soulless. THe drinks were cheap and the bar lady very friendly. I'd probably come back, but wouldn't go out of my way.

I made the best decision to come here for my birthday. Small but mighty, this place is everything my bedroom as a teenager was - aside from the bar. Within the first hour of being there I heard all of my old favorites - King Diamond, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Maiden - all of it. It warmed the little cockles of my heart to be at a bar I had only wished existed back home in Cleveland on my birthday, drinking Jack and Cokes and enjoying music I love with other people who love it too. Great place. I've found my home. :-)

This is THE place to go the few nights before the Wacken festival an hour or so north of Hamburg. Loud heavy metal music,locals and foreigners,and decently priced beer as well as a rowdy atmosphere that goes until all hours! Even if you're not attending the festival don't miss this place!

Great place for heavy metal music and cheap drinks. Good atmosphere there by the locals and staff who are really cool.

We found this little gem on our last night in Hamburg whilst wondering near Hans-Alberts Platz in the Reeperbahn area. We were at first drawn in by the music and the fair prices displayed outside and we were kept there by the incredible atmosphere and wonderful people! We were made to feel very welcome by the staff and the locals alike and have come away from our time in Night Light with great memories and new friends. The pub is very small but very popular, so as the night went on it got busier and busier, but it was never a problem, a pub full of happy smiling locals is obviously a good sign! A few warnings, the music can be very loud, but being a heavy metal pub, you should expect and enjoy that. Smoking is permitted, so if you're a non smoker don't sit up the back, it will become very cloudy. Lastly, we were there on a Saturday night and there was no obvious closing time. Be disciplined with your timekeeping otherwise you may find yourself closer to breakfast than you expected! A must for all hard rock fans in Hamburg!

Best paddle board lights for night adventures.

If you’re someone who paddles mostly in the daytime, you may wonder what’s the need for lights on your SUP? There are some of you though that like to paddle out after dark or in the early morning before the sun has even risen. SUP lights are your best friend in that case.

It can be kind of scary and unnerving to paddle out into a body of water without being able to see properly. It isn’t as if most lakes and such have overhead lighting, so all you can rely on is the stars and the moon to guide you. And it is highly unwise to use your phone light in case it gets knocked out of your hand.

So SUP lights are a good investment to ensure you can properly navigate and keep yourself on track without hitting anything. But what SUP lights are the best for you? Well, that depends on what you’re looking for exactly.

Let’s talk a little more in-depth.

Table of Contents

Under Vs. Over

There are plenty of reasons you might choose one over the other, but they both have their benefits. Some of the things to consider would be price, how much they actually light up, and if they are practical.

Pros of Under Board Lights

• Increases Visibility on Surface Area
• Spreads Light out in a Radius
• Pretty and Enjoyable

Cons of Under Board Lights

• Doesn’t Light Up Ahead of You
• Limited Radius

Pros of Over Board Lights

• Better for Navigation
• Lights up the Area Ahead of You

Cons of Over Board Lights

• Tend to be Smaller
• Doesn’t Surround

Under Board Light Recommendations

There is plenty of fancy under the board light kits that cost a lot of money. They will change colors and likely cover a little more surface area than the traditional LEDs do. These can be a little impractical though as the price outweighs their usability.

If you’re looking for some good LED lights that will do the job and possibly even give you some color for a fraction of the price, we’ve got some recommendations for you.

Northern Lights Submersible LED Light System

The whole kit comes at a reasonable price, which is significantly cheaper than some other branded colored LED light systems.

These are easy to attach and easy to remove, and they are battery operated.

AMIR Submersible LED Lights

These are a cheaper alternative to the Northern Lights submersible lights above. Even for a cheap price, they manage to do as advertised. They light up in colors that can be controlled via remote and they are fully submersible and waterproof.

While they might not be the best quality, they certainly get the job done and they are fun to watch and enjoy.

Over Board Light Recommendation

While they may not be as whimsical as the under the board lights, these are more function than fashion. They provide a bright light that is easy to use for navigation so you don’t run the risk of hitting something that is right in front of you.

Kayalu WaterTorch 360 Kayak Light

It is fully operable for 100 hours on 3 AA batteries and has an LED life of over 10,000 hours. This light might seem a bit steep for a single light but the battery life speaks for itself.

Other Thoughts

There are other light sources you can rig up for your paddleboard adventures , but it is highly recommended that you ensure they are waterproof and battery operated. It is best to know what your light situation is going to be like before you set out, so you don’t get caught out in the dark with no options. If you are worried your lights might lose battery while you’re out paddling, make sure to keep an extra set in your bag for emergencies. By now you should see why lights made my list of things you should invest in for paddleboarding .

Paddling out at night or early morning can be incredibly peaceful and relaxing. As long as you make the effort to be safe it can be a truly rewarding experience. If your paddleboard is big enough, it can be a great place to layout and look at the stars.

Just remember to keep your lights in working shape and extra batteries on hand and you’ll be smooth sailing.

Paddleboarding has been one of the few activities that's allowed me to take a mental break from life and just be in the moment. Whether you're looking for an outlet, a method for physical fitness, or even just a way to meet new people, paddle boarding can put you on a path to achieving all these goals. Every article I post on this site is made with the intention to spread sup love and get more people to stand up and paddle!
