So what is a Stand up Paddle Board?...

Stand up paddle surfing is derived from its Polynesian roots. The Hawaiian translation is Ku Hoe He'e Nalu; to stand, to paddle, to surf a wave. The ancient Hawaiians started it, modern Hawaiians revived it and now surfers everywhere are catching the bug. One difference between surfing and SUP is that stand-up paddling requires no waves — or even an ocean. On a SUP you can just cruise around on any body of water, as well as catching & riding wind swells on the open ocean, in the harbor & on the lakes. Another advantage of Stand up Paddle Surfing is the angle of visibility, because of the standing height over the water one can see both deeper into the water and further across the surface of the water, allowing better visualization of features others lower above the water may not be able to see, whether it is the marine life in the harbours, lakes and coves or the incoming swells of the ocean marching on the horizon. Some board shapers and business owners predict a boom in stand-up paddling in the next three to five years as the sport continues to go mainstream, with all age groups and both sexes taking part. Fitness wise along with the cardiovascular benefits, this water sport offers a fun way to burn calories with a scenic view of surrounding blue water .It is also beneficial for those with back problems and those with diabetes trying to lower their blood sugar.
