Stand Up Paddle » SUP » Boarding is derived from its Polynesian roots. The Hawaiian translation is Ku Hoe He’e Nalu; to stand, to paddle, to surf, a wave. Early Polynesian’s would stand on a canoe with an ore in one hand and a spear in the other. Standing on the canoe gave them a clear perspective to see deep into the water and strike fish easier.

Back in the 60’s Hawaiian watermen and surfers on the South Shore of Oahu started stand up paddling surfing.

In the early 2000s Hawaiian surfers such as Dave Kalama, Brian Keaulana, Rick Thomas, Archie Kalepa and Laird Hamilton Stand Up Paddle Boarding started as an alternative to the drive while the surf was down.

One difference between the modern idea of surfing and Stand Up Paddle Boarding is that the latter does not need a wave. One can paddle on the open ocean, in harbors, on lakes, rivers or any large body of water. One of the advantages of Stand Up Paddle Boarding is the angle of visibility. Because of the standing height over the water one can see both deeper into the water and further across the surface of the water, allowing better visualization of features others lower above the water may not be able to see, such as in a kayak.
