What is it?

SUP, stand up paddle surfing, stand up paddle boarding, beach boy surfing or Hoe He'e Nalu, whatever you call it, stand up paddling is a great sport for young and old alike.  In short, it's a cross between surfing and canoeing.  You stand on a very large surfboard made specifically for the sport and use a long paddle to propel yourself across the water.  It sounds simple enough, and it is, yet it offers enough challenge to  keep even the world's most skilled surfers and watermen busy trying to master the sport.  For a more complete account of the rich history of stand up paddling click on the history tab.

Our goal when we started in 2008 was to help bring SUP to Austin.  Well the sport is here in a big way.  Now our goal at Hill Country Surf is to deliver the highest level of service to our customers.  Whether we’re guiding a group tour, giving tips to a first timer, or teaching the subtle finesse of a good quick paddle stroke, giving you the best possible service is what drives us.  Come give it a try for yourself and see what Stand Up Paddling in Austin is all about.  Click here to learn more about Hill County Surf.
