The Waikiki Beach Boys were standing on their long boards, paddling with shovels to take pictures of tourists learning to surf . It was here where the term “Beach Boy Surf”, another name for SUP Surf, was born.
The paddle standing on a surfboard “SUP” is one of the sports that has been growing more worldwide. The migration of some athletes from WindSurf, Surf, Hawaiian Canoeing and other rowing sports make “SUP” the perfect combination for practice.
International athletes such as Laird Hamilton, Gerry Lopez, Dave Kalama and Robbie Naish are major players in spreading sport in the 1990s to this day.
