SUP Boards (aka Stand-Up Paddle Boards) are THE LATEST trend in surfing.
SUP allows one to be able to get out to where the surf is good, past the breakers, allows for better small wave riding, as well as larger surf days, and even for a good time on flat areas such as lakes and rivers when you're just itching to be on a board!
Laird Hamilton claims that Stand-Up Paddling is "the best way to condition for big wave surfing." Additionally, the ability to stand up allows you to be able to see incoming swell, getting you the jump on others who are flat on their bellies!
Stand-Up Paddle Surfing is your cure for summer time flat spells and a great new way to keep in shape! It is a great cross over training for maintaining balance and exercising core muscles, leg muscles, as well as giving a full body workout.
