Standup boards

What’s SUP?

Standup paddling is the world’s fastest growing watersport and some say it will be bigger than windsurfing and kiteboarding put together! It’s already the worlds most popular way to surf, but you don’t need waves to have fun.

People like Lance Armstrong, Pierce Brosnan, Matthew McConaughey, Julia Roberts, Kelsey Grammer, Kate Hudson, Helen Hunt, Robert Downy  Jr, and Jennifer Aniston, have all been filmed on their standup paddleboards and many more people from all walks of life are discovering it every day.

Here are just some the things that make it attractive to a very wide range of people:

  • Easy to learn – on the right board, just about anyone can get on and start having fun right away. Kids love it and it’s an excellent way to get them away from the video games. As one of the sport’s pioneer says, “if you can walk, you can standup paddlesurf”.
  • Great exercise – it works an amazing number of muscles in the body. Legs, shoulders, arms, stomach, back, and more. After a long day of paddling you are tired all over, not just in specific areas. You can lower your blood pressure, drop excess pounds, and lower your heart rate, all while getting a tan and having a great time. It’s better than any gym!
  • Do it anywhere – it’s fun in flat water and in waves. Lakes, rivers, oceans, and even small ponds are fun for training.
  • Requires no gas, and the board is an investment that will last for many years — nothing to wear out.
  • Many disciplines – racing, touring, wave-riding, white-water rapids, and freestyle just to name a few.
  • Target market -  windsurfers, kiteboarders, kayakers, canoe paddlers, surfers, and fitness enthusiasts – it’s much more fun than going to the gym. Did we mention that before? Get into the best shape of your life without even trying!

Search YouTube for “SUP” and you’ll see just how popular it’s becoming.
