#Stand up #paddle #surfing and stand up paddle #boarding (SUP), (Hoe hee nalu in the Hawaiian language) are #sports originating in Hawaii as an off-shoot of surfing. They enable surfers to paddle farther into the #ocean than is typical or to paddle standing up as a #sport unto itself. A 2013 report called it the outdoor #sporting activity with the most first-time participants of any in the United States that year. Paddlers race on lakes, large rivers and canals, ride breaking #waves, and glide over long distances along sea coasts, often using tail winds to aid the trip. #Stand_up paddlers wear a variety of wet suits and other clothing, depending on both water and air temperature since most of their time is spent standing on the board. A related, traditional sport, #paddleboarding, is done kneeling on a board and paddling with the hands, similar to a butterfly #swimming stroke. The term paddleboarding is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to stand up paddle surfing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standup_paddleboarding
