DESCRIPTION: SUP....Huh???? Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) boarding is best described as a mix between surfing and kayaking - using a board similar to a long board which you paddle standing up using a paddle.....
Although SUPing is relatively new to Australia but is already the fastest growing water sport in the world!
By now you’re probably wondering.....do I need to be able to surf to SUP? The answer is a simple ‘No’. Not one little bit of surfing or kayaking experience is needed. It’s not even necessary to take the boards in the wave at all - as SUPing is just as enjoyable on flat water as it is in the surf.
SUPing is a low-impact sport, promoting strength, balance and general fitness. An enjoyable full body work out giving your legs, back, feet, arms, neck, stomach getting a workout! All this whilst enjoying our beautiful waterways! Some great news for people with lower back pain...we’ve heard that people who have all but given up surfing and kayaking have not suffered any pain when SUPing!
Stand up paddle surfing is a traditional Hawaiian sport which promotes balance, strength and general fitness. SUPing can be enjoyed on flat water, rivers, bays and in the surf. It’s a good workout, whilst still being relaxing, fun and exciting way to view the natural surroundings.
During the first hour instruction is provided in technique and safety, the second hour is un-guided where the participants can practice their new skills and explore the waterway. With the popular bay break just a few minutes paddle away and gorgeous stretches of sandy sheltered beaches all around it’s a top notch spot for both beginners and experienced SUPers to enjoy this popular sport.
