Our friends Signe and Anders live on Islands Brygge, and over the summer bought a Stand Up Paddle Board to use on he water that’s right on their doorstep. It looks like a surfboard to those not in the know, but you stand up on it and paddle yourself along with a single oar.

We went down to have a go just before the water became a little too cold for comfort, and it will probably be the last time we enjoy the water this side of spring, unless we go full Scandi and take to winter bathing. No promises though.

Great fun, and perfect for Copenhagen as of course you don’t need actual surf to make use of the board.
