Surfing is not for everybody. If you’ve tried it and fallen off more times than you can count, you’ll know what I mean. If you can stand up, then you can definitely SUP. It’s also an art form, meaning the more you practice the better you get at it.

SUP’ing is a great workout as it works the whole body.

SUP’ing is a great workout, it works the whole body focusing on the core and also offering you an anaerobic workout too. So it has the same results of doing pilates and running at the same time.

As well as burning 800 calories an hour, on average, SUP also improves your balance. It is perfect for cross training, because it requires the use of all muscles – from your feet, legs, back, stomach and neck muscles.

Various osteopaths also use SUP as therapy as it’s low impact, so people who have problems in the lower back and sciatic areas can take advantage of its health advantages! What other sport can give such a claim?

SUP’ing is relaxing and meditative

Some people describe SUP as “walking on water”. We tend to agree.

There’s nothing quite as relaxing as watching the sunset across the water from on your SUP board. On a calm day, the feeling of gliding across the water is one of the most relaxing and meditative sports you can do.

It releases hormones.. which relax your body and clear your mind, it’s an effortless form of meditation, and all this while giving you a great workout.

Zen on the water!

Unlike other sports, Stand Up Paddle boarding is great for all ages, from 3 to 90.

Even dogs can ride along. No special skills are needed and it’s for people that have never considered getting on a surf board as well as for those who have made surfing a way of life. With SUP boarding, you are never too young or too old to try.

Wherever there is water, is where you can SUP.

Because SUP boarding is versatile, it can be done anywhere you find water – lakes, rivers and oceans, in any weather condition, so there’s no need to wait for a full swell! With SUP surfing, you can get your share of adventure even when you’re in the calmest of waters.

You’ll get to see nature in action, from the most perfect viewpoint, with the ocean under your feet, amazing sea-life moving about, beautiful sunsets and serene sunrises SUP’ing is one of very few activities which naturally puts you right in the moment.
