What is standing paddle

Paddle surfing (SUP) is also known as upright single paddle surfing. It is a sport originated from Hawaii in the United States and gradually swept the world in recent years. At first, in order to manage a large number of students, the surfing coach could stand upright on the surfboard to get a better view, which was convenient for observing the surrounding conditions and the waves coming from afar. At that time, there was no special sup surfboard. Instead, ordinary length surfboards and single-sided paddles were used. Like surfing, contemporary sup has become popular since the Hawaiian Islands. In the early 1960s, a team of Hawaiian surfers named "beach boys of Waikiki" stood on an extended surfboard to take photos for tourists learning to surf. Therefore, "beach boy surfing" is also another nickname for sup.
