Standup Paddle Boarding

Come down to Brighton Beach and try out the latest craze "stand up paddle boarding"!
Originally from Hawaii, this sport derived from the local surfers paddling out on big surf boards, they stood on these to take photos of the tourist surfing, a few locals of these guys then started surfing them. However it was Laird Hamilton, in about 2005, who really began to surf these boards!! On the flat days, Laird would use these boards for fitness, and for a relaxing paddle around the islands.
