A trend that has spread enormously in recent years and that concerns all sports lovers, young and old. It is noticed especially in the summer months but not necessarily, since it can also be practiced in winter.
Sup, Stand Up Paddle, is an activity imported directly from Australia, years ago, which consists of paddling standing on a surfboard; at first the instrument was appreciated for this reason especially by surfers, who see in this instrument an alternative to the surfboard when the sea is flat and the waves are low.
Over time, Sup has become viral and today, as mentioned, there is no longer any distinction between the typical users who dedicate themselves to this activity. In recent years in Italy it is estimated that the number of users who wanted to learn this tool has even quadrupled in the wake of what is happening abroad: in particular in California, where Sup is a real must also promoted by Hollywood stars and rock stars like Bruce Springsteen, a great fan of Stand Up Paddle.
Today on the market there are many useful models to satisfy all kinds of needs: let's think about the Inflatable SUP, convenient for a trip to the seaside starting perhaps from the city; obviously the deflated board takes up little space and is therefore much more convenient to transport.
Furthermore, the inflatable Sup is absolutely ideal for those who are approaching this type of activity for the first time as it can be simpler than traditional rigid boards. For those who have greater needs for higher performance, the advice is to turn to rigid boards that from this point of view offer many more guarantees.
There are two tools for practicing Sup: a large board on which to stand and a paddle, usually made of carbon as in the case of rigid boards. The thrust of this paddle is superior to that of a traditional oar and this allows you to move quickly once you are standing on the Stand Up Paddle board.
To complete it all, the lace with which you tie the board to your ankle so as to be sure to stay anchored. Sea or lake, Stand Up Paddle is ideal for having fun and keeping fit since the tool in question still requires the expenditure of a certain amount of energy. Especially if the sea starts to get a little rough, a contingency for which a minimum of preparation is required.
