PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION, THERE ARE SOME DETAILS THAT NEED TO BE CLEAR TO EVERYONE.

Saturday is rumored to be sunny and hot, so we are taking the chance and going paddleboarding near Berlin.
We will see the many channels of Neu Venedig, the vast waters of Muggelsee, and perhaps other nice secrets for the ones willing to paddle further (Gosener Graben).

For this, we will have a mixed group of (I assume) various levels of experience starting around 11:10 am at Meeting Spot A, [Kanuverleih-Berlin.de](https://www.kanuverleih-berlin.de/) . There are no reservations made, so you are responsible of getting your own paddleboard there, or you can opt for a canoe/kayak if you prefer it.

The price of the SUPs (paddleboards) is fixed to a whole day for 25 euros, while the canoes/kayaks is per hour, until a maximum of 40 for a day.

If you take a paddleboard, we prefer that either you already have experience standing on one, or that you don't mind that perhaps you'll have to sit and use it as a canoe for a good length of time if you don't manage to stand while on transit.

Checklist:

- A very good amount of water (being on the board gets thirsty) and some food.
- A cover for your head (sun hits hard and long on the water)
- Sunscreen and/or uv-clothes
- No fear of the water. You will fall minimum once.
- Money for rental, and maybe safe storage for your phone/valuables (I assume the rental shop gives either a storage option to carry with or offers to store your items, but never hurts to have a backup plan)
- A mindset of fun while keeping a moderate amount of caution and the ability to take care of yourself, as we might not be one merged group all the time.

To arrive there, you'd take S3 and a bus connection, probably 161.
As for length of the activity, it's up to you. The main spots can probably be done in 4 hours or less. I'll likely stay longer.

Last but important, there are two possible meeting spots, depending on three scenarios:

1. You dont have a paddleboard. (Meeting Spot A)
2. You have your own paddleboard and dont mind spending 5 euro to launch it from a harbor, have toilets and start with more of the group (Meeting Spot A)
3. You have your own paddleboard and are a cheapskate (Meeting Spot B)

Meeting Spot A is the already mentioned rental shop.
Meeting Spot B is the Kleiner Muggelsee beach.

I personally will be in Meeting Spot B at 11 am inflating my SUP and heading from there, I expect most people would want Meeting Spot A.
Whichever group gets ready the fastest goes to find the other one. (its not a big distance between the spots). After meeting up, we can do a bit of practice and fundamentals for those that are newer to the sports.

Remember to take a look at the area of the map and remember the meeting plan, as once in the water I am not sure how much I will be able to safely check my phone, if at all.

That's all! See you there!
