STAND UP PADD- LING
One of the fastest growing segments of paddlesports, every day more and more people around the world are hopping on stand up boards and heading out to enjoy the water. From fitness to family fun, from surfing waves to racing long distance, stand up has a broad appeal for anyone with access to lakes, rivers, or oceans.
SUP involves standing on a large, wide board and paddling with a long, one-bladed paddle to propel oneself forward and turn the board when necessary. SUP offers enthusiasts an excellent core workout and the sport has grown in popularity among fitness fans with access to safe waters.
Some surfers have converted to SUP because of its versatility. Stand up paddle boarding offers surfers the ability to catch more waves in a set, as well as have a better view of incoming sets. Original stand up boards were made like a surfboard, with epoxy resin and fiberglass around foam core. However, many companies are coming out with rotomolded plastic and inflatable boards to offer more durable options.
