WHAT IS STAND UP PADDLE BOARDING?
WHAT IS STAND UP PADDLE BOARDING?
The main thing that makes this different to surfing is the fact that you stand on the board and have a paddle to propel yourself along the coast. Stand up Paddle Boarding is often shortened to SUP as it makes it easier to say. The boards are generally much bigger than a surfboard, ranging from 8ft in length! SUP has taken off around the world since it started to hit the media in 2003. So what are you waiting for? Book your Sup adventure today with Outer Reef Surf & Sup School and find out about this awesome sport.
