What's New !

Or rather - what’s old is new again. Stand up paddling (SUP) began in the 1960s in Waikiki; the story is that beach boys would use long boards and outrigger canoe paddles to get through the breaks quickly, and they would then stand up and take photographs of the tourist who were learning to surf. In early 2000 some of the big wave surfers began using long boards and elongated canoe paddles for training during periods of flat surf. Since the early 2000s stand up paddling has grown rapidly in popularity. It doesn’t matter if you are on a river in Wisconsin, a lake in Georgia, or on a beach on Maui, you may very well see someone “SUPing”.  The awesome thing about stand up paddling is that you can do it right away!! You don’t have to be an expert. It doesn’t matter that you’ve never been on a board, you can experience instant success. SUPing allows you to enjoy being on the water from an entirely different perspective; you can see farther onto the horizon, and deeper and more clearly into the water. If you are interested in fitness, it is a great outdoor workout which isn’t gear intensive. All you need is the board, a paddle, and a body of water. It doesn’t get any purer than that. Hurricane Kayaks has paddled onto the SUP wave with the introduction of Hurricane Boards. Hurricane Boards are made from the same lightweight durable Trylon (ABS) as our Hurricane Kayaks; a solid foam core is used to create rigidity, and structural integrity; and then the top deck and bottom are permanently fused together. Our boards are designed for the surf and flat-water paddling. Our primary objective is to deliver the performance and aesthetics of an expensive composite board at a price point that is much lower and more accessible to beginner SUP paddlers. Contact your local Hurricane Kayaks dealer, or the nearest surf shop to see the Hurricane Boards SUP.
