What is sport SUP?
Did you know, that Standup paddle boarding (SUP) is
almost an Olympic sport? Yes, it’s surprising, but on paddleboard you can not
only relax.
Nowadays, SUP surfing is very popular, because it is
simple and everyone can learn it. It doesn’t depend to how fit you are. For
many people it is a way to be close to nature and relax.
But today there are also SUP races. For professional
SUP riders paddle boarding is really difficult sport, where you will need
special training.
SUP is young kind of sport. First world championship
was in 2012 in Peru. SUP racing has 4 basic disciplines: Sprint, Longdistanse race, Technical race
and SUP surfing. Sprint is the fastest and short term race. Usually it
is only 200-500 meters long. Longdistance race is a long marathon.
It is 15-20 meters long and lasts 1,5-2 hours. Technical race has several
circles with distance 2-5 km. It includes carrying the board along the shore
and passing the surf wave. SUP surfing has same rules with classic surfing.
