SUP (stand up paddle surfing or stand up paddle boarding)

History:

• SUP emerged from surfing: in the 1960s, the Waikiki beach boys were standing on SUPs and took photographs of tourists
• During the surf boom, surf instructors used SUPs for a better vision in the water
• In 2000, SUP made its way from Hawaii to California
• In 2009, SUP came to Austria

Organisation:

• Like surfing, kneeboarding and bodyboarding, SUP is organized by the ISA (International Surfing Association) at an international level
• As a member of the ISA, Austrian Surfing (AS) is responsible for SUP in Austria
• As a member of Austrian Surfing, ASUPA (www.asupa.at) is responsible for organizing the Austrian national SUP championships as well as training SUP instructors
