Stand up paddle boarding or SUP as it’s popularly called, uses a longboard and a paddle. It’s an easier way to surf waves or paddle the waters. The sport is fun when your balance is challenged by ripples or small waves in the water. In time it’s all part of the fun. Some skill learning followed by some practice and you’re good to explore and sup longer, maybe even paddle around Islands. On a good sunny day the hues of blue are enough to get you smiling and feeling satisfied, if you’re lucky you might even spot some marine life as a bonus to the exploration.
You can Stand Up Paddle on lakes, rives or the ocean! In fact you can get started with SUP in a swimming pool or even a puddle of water! Primarily SUPérs like to explore the shoreline in flat water conditions to be able to cover longer distances. An average SUP session could be two hours but some enthusiasts paddle for days & do remarkable ocean crossings. You can catch waves with a SUP - this variation of the sport is called SUP Surfing & the paddle helps you reach the waves while giving you an added tool to get some style when you surf them back to the beach.
