Welcome to SUPWA

Stand Up Paddling (SUP) is exactly as its title suggests – standing up on a board and paddling.

There are many variations, and the sport is considered one of the fastest growing recreational activities in the world.

It is practiced on rivers, lakes, canals, whitewater, the ocean – basically anywhere there is water.

As well as world-class competitions, participants also enjoy stand up paddling as a fitness activity and as a unique way to sightsee.

One of the attractions of SUP is its versatility as an activity. Paddlers can be seen on rivers, canals, stream, lakes, on the ocean, even on wildwater.

SUP is believed to have originated in Africa, became very popular in Hawaii in the 1940’s, and can now be seen in countries and on waterways all over the globe.

SUPWA was incorporated in July 2012 with the objects of:

  • organising and promoting events within all competitive disciplines of stand up paddling in Western Australia, either independently or in alignment with other clubs or organisations that support SUP; and

  • nurturing and upholding the unique SUP community lifestyle and values.
