ORIGINS
Dating back to the very beginning of surfing history with the ancient polynesians using boards
with paddles to travel between islands. Its recent history goes back to the 50s where the hawaiian beach boys used them for taking photos and instructing tourists in the waves. Zoom forward to 2008 and the boards have developed into high performance surf craft.With waterman deviants like Brian Keaulana, Laird Hamilton, Dave Kalama pushing the boundaries in Hawaii and even the likes of Kelly Slater, Rob Machado and a host of other big name surfers enjoying the "new" surf experience.
THERE ARE TWO MAIN DISCIPLINS OF SUP.
FLAT WATER & SURFING
Paddling on flat water (river, lake, sea etc..) is a great workout, it is seen as one
of the best core strength workouts available. It works all the body's main muscle
groups and is good fun at the same time.
2) Surfing
Paddling out when standing up adds a whole new dimension to surfing. Days when
the waves were considered too small for normal surfing now become almost classic
days. SUP boards can be ridden very easily on small days and can turn a nearly
flat day into a great surf session. This sport is not just confined to small surf as
with experience, larger surf is just an amazing sensation. The new breed of SUP boards allows riders to do all the manouvers seen on modern high performance longboards
with the added benefit of greater speed and longer waves.
