Hill Country Surfing!  A great way to enjoy the water in Central Texas.  Come out and try stand up paddling for yourself. It's a great workout, a wonderful way to be outdoors, and easy to learn.                                             

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 canoe-like paddle to propel yourself through 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.
