SUP INFO!

What is SUP? Stand up paddle boarding or surfing originated way back in Hawaii and has also been known as “beach boy” surfing. SUP is regarded as one of the fastest growing sports world wide! Anyone near water can SUP. Flat-water SUP is a good workout and fun way to see the lakes or rivers. Of course SUP is also done on waves and recently people have been charging bigger and steeper waves on their SUP’s.

I’ll be the first to admit I was hesitant to give it a try and accept it as surfing. I’ve had my share of waves stolen by SUP surfers and was not too fond of SUP from the start. But then I tried it! I love SUP. I think SUP is awesome. Good workout, fun, pretty easy to learn, just awesome. I love the feeling of standing up, paddling down the river or across the bay. Face on into the breeze, the water gliding under the board. It’s great.
