SUP - STAND UP PADDLEBOARD SURFING

Lo Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) viene ufficialmente inserito nei programmi e nell'attività didattica dell'Is Benas Surf Club.
Il Sup sta diventando sempre più popolare anche nelle coste italiane, come valida alternativa al surfing, sia in condizioni di mare piatto (SUP CRUISING) che in condizioni di onda (SUP WAVE). Gli spot adiacenti alla Scuola (Capo Mannu, Mini Capo, Putzu Idu eS'arena Scoada) sono tra i migliori spots, oltre che per il surfing, anche per il SUP Wave. I fondali cristallini e la costa frastagliata della Sardegna ne fanno un vero e proprio paradiso per il Sup Cruisin, ovvero per lunghe remate con mare calmo alla ricerca di spiagge ed insenature deserte.

Lo Stand Up Paddling è un ottimo allenamento per il Surf da onda, oltre ad essere un ottimo strumento per insegnare il surf ai principianti, dando la possibilità agli allievi di testare il proprio equilibrio sulla tavola anche in condizioni di mare calmo.

Stand up paddle surfing (SUP), or in the Hawaiian slang Hoe he'e nalu, is an emerging global sport with a Hawaiian roots. The sport is an ancient form of surfing, and reemerged as a way for surfing instructors to manage their large groups of students, as standing on the board gave them a higher viewpoint, increasing visibility of what was going on around them - such as incoming swell. To begin with, this started with using a one-bladed paddle, whilst standing on a normal length surfboard. The popularity of the modern sport of SUP has its origination in the Hawaiian Islands. In the early 1960s, the Beach Boys of Waikiki would stand on their long boards, and paddle out with outrigger paddles to take pictures of the tourists learning to surf. The sport benefits athletes with a strong 'core' workout. SUP'ing is popular at warm coastal climates and resorts, and is gaining in popularity as celebrities are sampling the sport, and cross-over athletes are training with SUP. SUPs have been spotted around the globe, anywhere where there is easy access to safe waters, as well as in the surfing lineups of the world.
The first "modern" surfer to bring Stand Up Paddle Surfing out of Hawaii and onto mainland USA was Vietnam veteran, Rick Thomas. In 2000, Rick - on a 11ft Muñoz board, and with a Leleo Kinimaka paddle - introduced California to the new sport. Surfers have converted because of the versatility of this new sport. Stand up paddle boarding offers surfers the ability to catch more waves in a set, as well as offering a better view of incoming sets.
