stand-up paddling

Upright board sport

Stand-up paddling is a water sport where you stand on a large surfboard and propel yourself with a long paddle.

It works on calm lakes, rivers, or ocean swells.

The activity doubles as exercise and leisure: We went stand-up paddling on the bay.

Often abbreviated SUP.
