Standup paddling, often referred to by its acronym, SUP, is now a rapidly growing sport that combines two of Hawai‘i’s signature ocean activities, surfing and canoe paddling. It also incorporates aspects of traditional paddleboarding, the distance sport that employs a narrow board similar to those used for windsurfing, powered by the paddler’s arms as he or she lies prone or kneels on the board. Maneuvering while standing, though, feels more natural, and for nonsurfers, is easier to learn.
