Stand up paddle
surfing (SUP Surfing/Paddle Surfing/Stand Up Paddleboarding) continues
to take the watersports world by storm, drawing everyone from complete
beginners, celebrities, weekend warriors and professional athletes, to
some of the world’s greatest watermen and waterwomen. This incredible
sport was gifted to us by the ancient Polynesians and revived by the
beach boys of Waikiki, only to see another revival of late. Blame Laird?
No, thank Laird (and Dave and company).
Stand up paddle surfing is an incredible workout
utilizing virtually every major muscle group and offers so many
options--whether you are touring, cruising the coast, surfing or even
racing against other paddle surfers. I am an experienced SUP surfer,
racer and instructor based in Los Angeles, and have taught over 75 people this incredible sport. In fact, most of my students end up buying
stand up paddle boards after their SUP lessons!
As stand up paddle surfing gains in popularity, so does the number of people offering stand up paddle surfing lessons. With different instructors come differences in stand up paddle surfing lessons.
