STAND UP PADDLE BOARDS SURFING THE WORLD
Stand Stand Up Paddle Board Surfing or “SUP’S” for short, is fast becoming a global sport that is becoming what some areas are spruiking as the New Surfing Phenomenon.
The Stand Up Paddle Boards or “Sups” as it is called originated in Polynesia, but the Hawaiians took it on as their own in the ’60′s. They began with it by using it to instruct large groups of learners and the higher stance and viewpoint, gave them the control they needed not only to control the learner groups, but also to sight the pending swells. The Stand Up Paddle Boards used a single paddle with a long handle that was used to great effect to propel them forward.
They became quite popular at that time but it seems only in Hawaii as the rest of the world was not impressed, and as the ’60′s moved to the ’70′s the “Sups” were all but pushed aside by the “short board” era and a bunch of Aussie’s reaping havoc on the world by winning surfing titles galore, and in Hawaii’s own back yard, did not sit well with them..

TOTAL”CORE”WORKOUT

However, today pushing 2010, Sups have again grabbed a spot in Global popularity and has been suggested by athletes as the total work out fun machine that you can do standing up. In effect it gives you a strong “core’ work out.
You can do it on still water anywhere, or as a supplement to surfing by Paddle Boarding the surf.

WHAT ARE STAND UP PADDLE BOARDS
What are Stand Up Paddle Boards? They can be best described as over sized surfboards that are fairly fat. But with this, offer good flotation. “Sup’s” can be “Custom Made” at a price, but most are shop boards, to keep the cost down and board makers keep a standard or high performance model on hand in the showroom. These models are between, generally 9’6″ up to 10’6″ in some cases, with the smallest size being most popular. They also feature padded deck grip with concave or double concave bottoms, with three fins for turn and directional stability.
 STAND UP PADDLE BOARD SURFING
“Sup’s” can be used pretty well any where, on the lakes, rivers, or for that big work out, used as the new surf weapon.

This New Surfing Phenomenon, used in the surf for a complete fun work out, is set to explode in a Global fashion exploring a new way of surfing, and rest assured Stand Up Paddle Boards are set to be the New Surfing Phenomenon, and change the current idea of surfing forever.

Waves for Development

WAVES for Development
The idea for WAVES originated on the beaches of northern Peru in late 2004, when a group of international surfers shared a desire to help local youth with little resources enjoy surfing. Over the course of the next 3 years, WAVES formed a network over 30 dedicated individuals, organizations, and institutions in 10 countries. In 2006, Global Surf Industries committed to donating a shipping container of surfboards to be used in WAVES programming in Peru. These surfboards arrived in Peru in mid-2007.
Today, WAVES for Development is a formalized not-for-profit association in Peru and Switzerland. WAVES for Development International is a not-for-profit corporation in the United States, currently applying for 501(c)3 tax-exempt charity status. WAVES for Development Peru has signed an agreement with the Peruvian Sports Institute and the Peruvian Surfing Federation to bring Educational Surf and Adventure Voluntourism programming to communities throughout Peru. WAVES is currently offering Adventure Voluntourism and Educational Surf Programs in Lobitos, Peru.
