The wave of popularity of stand-up paddle surfing, which originated in Hawaii, has been sweeping through Australia this summer. In addition to sponsoring the SUP division that attracted a record field of more than 30 surfers this year, Hawaii company C4 Waterman also hosted a free SUP clinic that was standing room only.
