What's SUP?
SUP is short for Stand Up Paddleboard. Stand-Up Paddleboarding is a water sport borne from surfing, with modern roots in the United States. Stand up paddleboarders stand on boards that are floating on the water, and use a paddle to propel themselves through the water. It's arguabliy easier than surfing, more relaxing than kayaking and can be picked up at your pace
