SUP FAQ
To help you find your perfect SUP we answered some of the most FAQ. Please contact us if you need any more information on SUP, paddles, boards or accessories.
What is SUP?
SUP or Stand Up Paddle is a watersport where you stand up straight on a big surf board and move forward using a large paddle. SUP originates from Hawaii, but has been gaining a lot of popularity in Europe over the past 10 years.
Is Stand Up Paddle boarding difficult?
No, SUP is not hard and it is for everyone. Having the right gear is really important. A board that is too small and too narrow will be very unstable, but with the right beginner gear everyone, young and old, can learn how to SUP.
What do I need to SUP?
To Stand Up Paddle board you’ll need a board and paddle. On some places it will be a good idea to wear a life jacket and on the colder days a wetsuit. At Matos we also have wetsuits for the warmer days. You’ll also need a board leash to prevent the SUP board from drifting off when you fall in the water.
What SUP board should I choose?
At Matos we have a big range of SUP boards and the right one for you depends on your size, weight and level. When you are new to the sport, an inflatable SUP is an amazing and affordable option. It packs up small into a bag which makes it very easy to transport. If you are looking for a high performance SUP for in the waves or for racing, we also have a big range of composite SUP boards at Matos and the Matos team is ready to give you our professional advice.
