A weekly summer SUP evening on the Limmat between Escher-Wyss-Platz and Hönggerwehr, organised by a paddling club, combining river paddling with a riverbank barbecue.
A paddling club runs a weekly Thursday evening event called SUP and Grill on the Limmat in Zürich between May and October, in good weather only. Participants meet at the end of Hardeggstrasse in Höngg, paddle along the river between Escher-Wyss-Platz and the Hönggerwehr weir, and finish with a barbecue on the bank. Basic swimming skills are required, and the club also runs river SUP courses on request. As with all river activities in Zürich, current and water level should be checked, and paddlers should wear a leash and, ideally, a buoyancy aid. Because the event depends on weather, confirmation by the organiser is advisable on the day.
