SUP, short for Stand Up Paddling is an ancient sport born most probably in the Hawaiian Islands. It is said that in the diaries of James Cook, the English explorer, there was proof of natives paddling upright on large boards to ride the waves.
Others believe that the birth of the sport occurred in the 50s in Waikiki, with the rediscovery of surf. Today, SUP is a sport with a lot of success that has developed in many disciplines: from SUP wave, downwind and marathons, yoga, fishing, and for some years also SUP river.
Undoubtedly, SUP is and activity for athletes and people who like to get involved with new challenges, Indomita proposes two activities: beginners and intermediate outings in which you will paddle down a river, something that is not as common as you might think when it comes to SUP.
