Stand Up Paddling (SUP)

Stand up paddling was originally popular in the 1960s and has had a relatively recent revival. Basically it involves standing up on a large surfboard and paddling with a long handled 'outrigger' type paddle.

SUP can be done on flat water or surf, and some SUP boards have fittings to allow the use of a windsurfer rig.
