What is a SUP?

Stand Up Paddle

Stand up and paddle. Simple, free and versatile.

SUP stands for Stand Up Paddle. It is a water sport that many people can learn quickly, regardless of age or previous experience.

A board can be used for touring, exercise, yoga or simple recreation. Moving quietly on the water brings you close to nature.

You need a purpose-built board, a paddle and a little balance. Beginners can start sitting or kneeling before standing up.

Your first time on the water

Start on calm, shallow water.

Find your balance on your knees first, then stand up once you can control the board with confidence.

  • Check the wind and water conditions
  • Practise turning and stopping near the shore
  • Ask an experienced paddler for help the first time
