SUP

Over the last decade SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) has been the fastest growing water sport. Worldwide stand up paddleboarding travel has become popular. It is both an excellent day trip but also a great focus for any holiday. But where to SUP? Well anywhere with water!

SUP is now a global sport but it has Hawaiian heritage. In Hawaii they call it “Surfing with Aloha”. In the early 60s, the Beach Boys of Waikiki would stand on their longboards and paddle out with outrigger paddles to take pictures of the tourists learning to surf. This is where the term “Beach Boy Surfing” was coined!

These days SUP happens on still water as well as waves. It is a great form of exercise and an easy way for people to get on the water. There are also many different types of SUP. From racing (short and long distance) to fishing, yoga to white water and surf to exploration it is a versatile sport.

We hope this worldwide stand up paddleboarding travel guide helps you plan your perfect trip. And as to where to SUP? Start out close to home. Book a lesson or take a guided trip and you’ll become hooked like millions of other people all over the globe.
