Stand Up Paddle News

Surfersvillage launches Stand Up Paddle news section

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 11 May, 2008 : - - A first in the world of Surfing News, Surfersvillage launches a Stand Up Paddleboard section on its Global Surfing News portal website. Maintaining the Surfersvillage leading edge in adapting to changing trends and delivering detailed selective information on surfing disciplines, this new section features up-to-the-minute news on Stand Up Paddleboarding.

Popular in the days of the Waikiki beach boys, Stand Up Paddleboarding, or SUP, went underground through most of the 20th century until Laird Hamilton helped the sport resurface in the late 1990s. With Laird's exploits, interest in the sport re-ignited at root surf spots such as Malibu and Waikiki and quickly spread worldwide.

With watermen like Laird, Bonga Perkins, and Brian Keaulana taking up the sport, the performance level increased dramatically. The boards, wider, longer and thicker versions of your average longboard are designed for paddle stability and, until recently, were mainly used in soft rolling surf. But recent sessions by Laird, Garrett MacNamara and others in dredging tubes at Pipeline and Teahupoo have redifined on what waves the boards can be surfed.

The sport’s growth has also been fueled by a rapidly developing network of companies such as Oxbow, C4 Waterman, SurfTech, Gongsup and QuiksilverEdition. As this sport spreads across the globe, Surfersvillage will bring you all the leading news and information on Stand Up Paddleboarding.
