STAND UP PADDLE BOARDS
Whether you’re new to the sport or an experienced paddler, our SUP rentals offer the perfect way to explore the beautiful waters of the Isle of Wight Bay.
A Brief History of Stand-Up Paddle Boarding
Roots in Hawaii: Stand-up paddle boarding has its origins in the Hawaiian Islands, where it was known as “Hoe he’e nalu.” The sport dates back to the early days of surfing when instructors would stand on their boards to get a better view of their students and incoming waves.
Modern Popularity: SUP began to gain widespread popularity in the early 2000s, thanks to its versatility and accessibility. Unlike traditional surfing, which requires waves, stand-up paddle boarding can be enjoyed on any body of water, making it a favorite among water sports enthusiasts worldwide.
Cultural Impact: The sport was popularized globally by renowned surfers and water sports athletes. Its ease of learning and minimal equipment requirements contributed to its rapid growth, making it one of the fastest-growing water sports today.
