Stand Up Paddle Boarding is the hottest new craze taking over water sports. It's ease of learning and great core workout attracts water enthusiasts of all types. SUP is part paddling, part balancing, part surfing. On flat inland water, you can cruise and glide while touring the local sites. On small swells, you can easily paddle into and ride the waves. You can also take your SUP board and put a windsurf sail on it - a multi-sport blast! Come rent a SUP board at one of our demo centers and try it out. We offer a weekly introductory clinic in all 3 locations - SF, Alameda, and San Mateo.

SUP History:
Stand Up Paddle Boarding traces its roots back to Polynesia and ancient surfing. Surf instructors in Hawaii started using SUPs in the 1960s as a way to better view the incoming waves and their surf students at Wai Ki Ki beach. In the early 2000s, big wave surfers such as Laird Hamilton started cross training with SUP when the surf was down. Today SUP is a rapidly growing global sport. Join us for a clinic and see wassSUP!
