Surrounded by lakes and criss-crossed by the Spree, Berlin is a paradise for anyone who wants to get on the water. The offerings range from relaxed to action-packed. At the Wassersportcenter Berlin on the Wannsee, you can learn windsurfing, sailing or SUP, at 2Wave on the Havelsee you glide over an artificial wave, and the StandUpClub Berlin takes paddlers onto the Spree and the Landwehrkanal. Anyone seeking an adrenaline kick can plunge into wakeboarding fun at the Wasserskipark Zossen, and at Rent a Boat Berlin in Treptower Park you discover the Spree on your own with a pedal, rowing or motor boat. There is something for every taste. Which water sport appeals to you most?

I simply feel at home by the water. Sometimes I step onto the board with the StandUpClub and paddle along the Landwehrkanal, sometimes I let myself get thoroughly shaken up at the Wasserskipark Zossen. And when I want to take it easy, I rent a boat at Rent a Boat and drift along the Spree. This list is my summer in a nutshell.
It's a great feeling to watch surfers and sailors do their sports, but why just watch? In the Water Sports Center Berlin at the Wannsee you can learn sailing, windsurfing and SUP from competent water sports enthusiasts yourself.
2Wave is the first provider for surfing in Berlin! On Lake Havel, you can learn to surf on an artificially created wave by a special speed boat, book foil courses, and enjoy the adrenaline rush on the water. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, at 2Wave everyone can become a surf pro.
