WHAT IS STAND UP PADDLE ?
The discipline is not new: there long ago in the 60’s, « Waikiki Beachboys of Honolulu » surf teachers stood on their boards with a paddle to stabilize.
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.
