SUP is an abbreviation for "Stand Up Paddleboard." When you stand up there is a sense of stability like a boat, and you can row with one paddle, so even beginners can row immediately. Even if there are no waves, you can stand up, so anyone from children to elderly can enjoy it. Usually you stand on the board, but in fact you can enjoy laying down or sitting also. The number of people doing the sport SUP has been increasing rapidly in recent years. In fact, the sport is a candidate to be added to the 2024 Paris Olympics, which follows the Tokyo Olympics. SUP is surfing that you can experience without swimming! Specialist staff will teach you SUP, so even beginners should have no worries about giving it a try.
