Stand-up paddleboarding, or SUP as it’s often abbreviated, is a hugely enjoyable outdoor pursuit that has completely overtaken kayaking and canoeing in popularity and participation numbers.
There are all kinds of stand-up paddleboards out there, including some excellent inflatable boards, which are very easy to transport and even take on holiday, and many larger models, which make excellent SUPs for beginners. Most are fairly affordable (especially in comparison to a kayak or a canoe), and they’re a really versatile craft that can be used for pure fun but also sport, fitness and even yoga.
