What is a "stand-up paddle board"?
A stand-up paddle board (SUP board) is a large, stable board used for paddling while standing up on the water. The rider uses a long paddle to move themselves across the water, standing upright on the board, which is designed to float easily. SUP boards are commonly used on calm lakes, rivers, and oceans, offering a relaxing way to enjoy the water while also providing a good full-body workout. Riders can also perform tricks, balance exercises, or even engage in yoga while on the board, making it a versatile water sport.
