Last updated 2026-09-24 — Paddling on a SUP in the evening, gliding gently with the current, the water is calm, the sunset spreads out before you, and your feet glow with fantastical fluorescent colors. It feels like you’re the protagonist in the movie *Life of Pi*, drifting slowly on the water as the entire sea seems to be dyed in magical hues, becoming a stunning backdrop.

On a summer evening, with a warm breeze blowing, I sat on a SUP and paddled toward Penghu’s Rainbow Bridge across the sea. It was the most magical time of the day, with the harbor waters perfectly still. The reflection of the Rainbow Bridge made the entire structure appear in a perfect arc shape. As I paddled forward, I passed through the rainbow bridge in the water, with glowing lights beneath my feet.

“Fluorescent SUP,” which officially launched this summer in Penghu, is the brainchild of Yi Ming, owner of “Floating Denai SUP Surf Shop.” Inspired by overseas examples, he worked with manufacturers to develop LED tubes that change colors and are installed on the boards. As you paddle on the water, the color of the water changes along with them.

The entire sea seems to be glowing.
