In 2015, years before the current bans and restrictions on Stand Up Paddling (SUP) in the Grand Canal, Eric Noel Muñoz experienced an amazing adventure on the waterways of Venice. He traveled with his inflatable SUP board and three-piece paddle and was based at a waterfront studio on the Grand Canal. Eric paddled every day and some nights on the iconic Grand Canal and also on the intimate back canals. He felt it was a privilege to experience Venice from the deck of his SUP. SUP Venice has numerous photos and his YouTube channel (@SUP_Venice) has 27 video clips that will bring the sights and sounds of the Venice canals to life. While facing modern challenges like flooding and intense tourism popularity, Venice warrants attention, understanding, and respect.
"My story aims to share the magic that I felt, paddling in the wake of Marco Polo. I hope you enjoy my story of how Venice forever touched my heart.
—Eric Noel Muñoz
