■I want to try a little, I want to start! ■Let's Try Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) A stand-up paddle board born in Hawaii. Let's enjoy walking on the water! Even beginners can enjoy it easily. SUP Start! Depending on your idea, cruising, fishing, health management with an enhanced sense of balance, etc. Stand-up paddle board (SUP) that anyone can enjoy and get inspired by the harmony with nature. "Stand Up Paddle" is a water activity that is also called "SUP" or "Stand Up Paddle Board (paddle surfing)". In recent years, SUP has been attracting attention from famous surfers such as Maui's Layered Hamilton and Dave Kalama, and Oahu's Brian Keallana, but its history is long, dating back to ancient Polynesian civilization. In the 1960s, men working on the beach of Waikiki, the mecca of surfing, used outrigger canoe paddles to carry tourists and surfed on longboards, so SUP is also known as the "beach boy style." It became popular in recent years. The fun of SUP is endless! SUP has a strong image of standing on a board, but in fact, you can enjoy it freely whether you sleep or sit! You can leisurely paddle and cruise, take a walk on the water, surf, or do yoga or pilates on a board. You can also fish in places that are difficult to reach by boat. You can enjoy it just by paddling like a canoe. The SUP board is smaller than a canoe and has only one paddle on one side, making it easy to enjoy. Standing on a board on the water, you can see the scenery from a higher vantage point, and you can feel the real thrill of nature in a different way than usual. There is also a healing effect of bathing the whole body in negative ions at the waterside, and this SUP allows you to enjoy various ways of playing and natural scenery that you have never seen before. Popular SUP for women! Amazing shape up and diet effect! SUP is said to have the same effect as aerobic exercise such as running by paddling the whole body. In addition, standing on the board while maintaining balance, even for a short period of time, strengthens the inner muscles around the pelvis, attracting the attention of women. It is a hot topic among famous models and celebrities in Japan and abroad because it has a high shape-up effect, such as a tight waist, a stooped back, a plump stomach, and a metabolic syndrome. According to one theory, the amount of calories burned per hour is 4 to 500 kcal for SUP yoga, and 6 to 700 kcal for SUP cruising and SUP surfing. (*By the way, if a person weighing 65 kg runs at a speed of 10 km/h for 1 hour, the amount of calories burned is about 650 kcal.)
