What is "stand up paddleboarding"?
Stand up paddleboarding (SUP) is a water sport where a person stands on a large, stable board and uses a long paddle to propel themselves across the water. It combines elements of surfing and kayaking, but with the added challenge of standing upright. SUP can be done on calm lakes, rivers, or oceans, and it allows for a peaceful experience or more active exploration. The sport is great for building balance and core strength, and it can be done at a relaxed pace or with a more intense workout, depending on the water conditions and the rider's skill level.
