The history of Stand Up Paddle boarding (SUP)

Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) is a relatively new water sport that originated in Hawaii. It was first practised by surf instructors who stood on their boards to have a better view of their students. In the 2000s, SUP became more popular and surfers started using it as an alternative to surfing on days with few waves. Since then, SUP has become one of the fastest-growing water sports in the world and is practised by people of all ages and skill levels.
