BALI STAND UP PADDLE SCHOOL
We take surfing to a whole other level! Paddling is the new way to go!
SUP, or Stand Up Paddle Surf, is an ancient form of surfing that was properly noticed in the 1940s. It can be traced back to the early days of Polynesia and was first seen in the Hawaiian island of Tahiti. The sport was initially put into practise by surfing instructors to manage larger groups of students. They stood up on their boards as it gave them better visibility of what went on around them. The surf coaches used a one-bladed paddle to navigate a normal length surfboard. As time went by, the surfboards grew longer and the paddles were modified. Nowadays, SUPing is becoming extremely popular all over the world because of the sport’s elegant simplicity, quick learning curve and lack of age limit.
