The history of SUP

Hi everyone, in this post I am going to review the history of the SUP, the sport that everybody in this blog loves. I am going to review where it comes, how it improves with the years.

There are 3 big stages in the history of SUP:

• 3000 years BC: in the old Egypt, Peru or Venice were made travels on the water with a scull but the boats were different to what we know as a SUP board or a surfing board and they used to transport things and/or people.

• Biggining of the 20th century: before this century, did not exist the SUP since when in 1900-1980 did begin to see the first surfers rowing on a board. This time of the history, people did not exist the wave surf, or the did row on the board, or they were surfing.

• 1996-now: They practiced modern SUP, like now we practice. Laird Hamilton and Dave Kalama developed this new kind of SUP. From this moment, SUP were international.

After we read that, we can see how big is the SUP magnitude. We can see that it is not only a sport that we can do, it is a million person lifestyle do everyday.

ALOHA!
