Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) is a fairly new sport that originated in Hawaii as an offshoot of surfing and is rapidly gaining popularity around the world. The rider stands up on a longboard, much like one used in surfing, and uses a paddle to push themselves through the water. SUPing is a sport anyone with even a moderate fitness level can have a go at and probably master the basics within the hour. It's a serene experience, allowing you to enjoy the sunshine and take in the views while getting a moderate workout. And for the more experienced riders, you can catch a few waves if there's a swell running..
