Lars Thierling is a SUP instructor at Paddeln macht Spass. In addition to his SUP school on Lake Harik, he guides groups through major European cities, helping them discover these cities from the water. With SUP & Culture, he combines the leisurely, athletic aspect with the cultural sights of each metropolis. In 2025, he will be heading across the pond: a group led by Lars will be paddling in northern Orlando, Florida, where they will encounter manatees, among other things. It is an impressive experience to be able to encounter these gentle giants in person. All information about the tours can be found at https://paddeln-macht-spass.de.
