Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), or in the Hawaiian language "Hoe he'e
nalu," is a fast-growing sport with a Hawaiian heritage. The sport is an
ancient form of surfing and reemerged as a way for surfing instructors
to teach groups of students, as standing on the board gave them a higher
viewpoint, increasing vision of what was going on around them, such as
incoming swells or waves. To begin with, this started with using a
one-bladed paddle, whilst standing on a normal length surfboard. The
popularity of the modern sport of stand-up paddleboarding has its
origination in the Hawaiian Islands.
The sport benefits the
athlete and student with a strong 'core' workout. Stand-up paddling is
gaining in popularity as everyone is sampling the sport and cross-over
athletes are training with SUP. Come visit Kauai to enjoy this emerging
water sport. Lessons are offered for beginners.
