Stand-Up Paddling Spotlight - Hawaiian Surfing Adventures - KVIC-TV, myKauai.com [Activity]

Darian stand-up paddles with Hawaiian Surfing Adventures.

From Wikipedia: [Stand up paddle surfing] is an emerging global sport with a Hawaiian heritage. The sport is an ancient form of surfing, and has reemerged as a way for surfers to paddle longer distances.

"The appeal of paddle-boarding is that you can do it in any type of conditions. When it's calm... you can enjoy just paddling around."

"As I got a little older, surfing got harder. It's too hard to catch those waves, and it's so fun to be out on the water."

As for technique, Mitch Alapa Jr. explains: "Paddle-boarding you stand parallel... It's not how strong you paddle, it's that you get this whole blade inside the water and you get a smooth stroke going."
