In 2012, I (David Ziessen) saw someone go over the water with a board and paddle for the first time. Then I immediately started surfing the internet to see what exactly I was seeing. This turned out to be Stand Up Paddling. I was sold right away! My thought went straight to that I should introduce everyone to supping. Since my sister has had a water sports / boat rental for years, called Nikano Boat Rental. It was immediately clear to me that I wanted to set this up with her. I just didn’t have the money to buy stand up paddle boards, so that’s why I decided to sell my newly bought car, to be able to buy stand up paddle boards for rental. Since 2013 I have become co-owner of Nikano boat rental in Nieuwkoop. I actually came into my sister’s company through supping, I also obtained my ASI certificate, which allows me to give sup lessons internationally.

SUP really became my passion for me. My own webshop actually started from our rental. So this became our webshop Isupcenter.

Isupcenter has been around since 2013 and has many years of experience in stand up paddling. And has gone from a small webshop to one of the largest in Europe in the field of Paddle Boards.
