"We set up the kolula SUP station in Eibelstadt in the summer of 2020 and it was worth it from day 1. There were super many positive reactions from local and regional people, especially about the great design and the ease of use of the box with a cell phone. The station allows me to flexibly handle my already existing SUP - course offer, the logistics are omitted on my side, I didn't have to hire any staff and I get in touch with new people through the kolula customers. Overall, kolula SUP’s service has only advantages for me economically and people love the recreation on the water direct in nature."
