What is SUP?
SUP stands for “standup paddle boarding” and has its roots where all board sports have their beginnings, in Hawaii. SUP uses a surf style board and a long paddle. In that regard, it is a cross between canoeing and surfing. With knowledge of conditions and respect for local laws and precautions, sup is a safe activity for people of all ages, sizes and athletic ability. Even it's been said that SUP is a healthy shape-up exercise for women! Many Olympians and professional athletes have jumped on board for a complete cross training workout.
