- The roots of SUP date back thousands of years and can be traced to various cultures. Ancient Peruvian fishermen used similar techniques, and Polynesians paddled while standing on rafts or canoes. Modern SUP as a sport originated in Hawaii in the 1940s when surf instructors used paddles to better view and manage their classes.
- SUP can be done on a variety of water surfaces, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and even calm bays. It has diverse disciplines, including recreational paddling, racing, SUP yoga, fishing, and surfing.
- SUP provides a full-body workout, engaging the core, legs, back, and arms. It improves balance, cardiovascular endurance, and mental well-being due to the calming nature of being on the water.
- SUP promotes an intimate connection with nature, as paddlers often explore scenic waterways, observe wildlife, and practice eco-friendly habits. Many enthusiasts participate in "paddle clean-ups," collecting trash from waterways.
- SUP has a low environmental impact compared to motorized water sports. Many manufacturers now create boards using sustainable and eco-friendly materials.
- The longest SUP journey was completed by Antonio de la Rosa, who paddled 2,930 miles across the Pacific Ocean in 2019.
