Paddle Surfing was started back in the 40’s by the Waikiki Beach boys on Oahu. They would use their outrigger paddles to “paddle surf” their big boards around the tourists and take pictures.
Today, Stand Up Paddling is the fastest growing water sport on the planet due to its easy learning curve. Though you may have seen surf legends Laird Hamilton, Dave Kalama or Robby Naish surfing huge waves, there are plenty of calm waters around Maui to learn on. Pretty much anyone can do it and it’s making surfers out of everyone.

Hawaiian Archie Kalepa Makes Ride of His Life:
Record 187 Miles on Standup Paddleboard Through
Grand Canyon, Colorado River.
Journey Explored Connection between Native Hawaiians
& American Indians
(HONOLULU – October 19, 2009) Hawaiian veteran lifeguard and big-wave rider Archie Kalepa is no stranger to life-changing experiences. There have been many during his 46 years of life spent in and around the ocean. He never imagined that the fresh waters of inland America would deliver the most astounding experience of all: connecting his native Hawaiian experience to that of the American Indians, and incidentally setting a world record of being the first to standup paddle (SUP) 187 miles through the Grand Canyon.

This was sent to us via email by C4 Ambassador/Rider Chip Bock.
All,
Tomorrow is the 3rd Annual 22 mile Causeway 2 Causeway Challenge in Cocoa, FL. This is my 3rd year competing in the C2C and I won the overall SUP Div last year. It is a brutal race due to it being flat water (no following swell etc) and is one of the longest annual flat water paddleboard races in the US.
More importantly I do this race each year to raise funds and awareness for LIVESTRONG and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
