Stand-up paddling (SUP) has become very popular in recent years. With its roots in Hawaii, dating back some 3000 years, stand-up paddling is the new must-try sport, offering easy access to the sport on both the ocean and inland rivers and lakes.
Within 30 minutes, most participants stand on the board and power their way across the water. More advanced techniques, such as board and body 360s, are also introduced, thereby familiarising clients with the water - they really do fall like dominoes.
Stand-up paddling is possible on the ocean, inland lakes, rivers, or docks. Certified guides will lead groups through some basic training on land before taking to the water, at first on knees and then progressing to a standing position. Clients typically begin at the same level of inexperience and enjoy rapid progress. It is sometimes possible to combine stand-up paddling with other water sports.
Large group sizes are possible with instructors assigned to small groups. Life vests are commonly worn, but clients are required to be able to swim and be confident in water. Wetsuits are worn in colder waters on lakes and rivers but aren't so vital on warmer seas. Many SUP boards have deck webbing to secure water-proof items such as water bottles and phone/camera bags.
