In 2020, Josua Wechsler stand up paddled from Switzerland to the Netherlands, a journey that took 27 days and covered more than 950km. Beau sat down with Josua to speak about his adventure, the motivations behind it and to gain some insight into SUP touring.  This interview was published on SUPboarder several months ago, but we wanted to make sure Josua's inspirational journey reached as many people as possible, so we are adding it to the podcast too!

"Years ago I had the dream to paddle on a SUP from Switzerland to the Netherlands. Always when I was close to realize this idea, something came in between. Corona changed many plans, so it was time to pick up this old dream. In April 2020 I started building a wooden SUP in my workspace in the Netherlands. In the beginning of August 2020 my journey from Switzerland to the Netherlands could finally start." JOSUA WECHSLER
