The sport of Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) is a global sport that benefits people of all ages and physical condition with a strong 'core' workout. SUP'ing is gaining in popularity here in Destin and all along the Gulf Coast of Florida. SUPs have been spotted around the globe, anywhere where there is easy access to safe waters, as well as in the surfing lineups of the world.

Surfers have converted because of the versatility of the new sport. Stand up paddle boarding offers surfers the ability to catch more waves in a set, as well as offering a better view of incoming sets. Also, the Stand Up Paddle Board races have added to the movement by bringing in even more attention to the sport.

In choosing a Stand Up Paddle Board, you first need to identify what kind of water you will be paddling on: will it be flat, will you be catching waves, fishing, or racing? The knowledgable staff of GUSU Paddlesports can assist you in this process and make recommendations. The same goes for paddles, the style and what type of water will determine the correct paddle. Also, GUSU Paddlesports can custom cut the paddle to your height for no charge.
