Stand Up Paddle boarding or SUP for short, is a traditional Hawaiian sport and is currently the world’s fastest growing water sport. It originated with the beach boys of Waikiki in the 60’s and involves standing on a large surf-like board and propelling oneself with a single blade paddle.
It is easier to learn than surfing and so is suitable for all ages and abilities. It promotes balance, strength, core fitness and co-ordination. It provides an amazing full body workout and is becoming a favourite cross-training activity for all sorts of athletes.
As you are standing at your full height, you will enjoy excellent views of everything from the sea life below to the amazing Burren scenery surrounding Galway Bay. It’s almost like walking on water!
