Paddleboarding or Paddlesurfing challenges:

Standup paddleboarding (SUP) is a water sport born from surfing with modern roots in Hawaii.

Standup paddleboarders stand on boards that are floating on the water, and use a paddle to propel themselves through the water.


The sport was documented in a 2013 report that identified it as the outdoor sporting activity with the most first-time participants in the United States that year.

Variations include flat water paddling, racing, surfing, whitewater SUP, yoga, and fishing.
