Have you ever heard of "SUP", an activity that has become a hot topic in recent years? Every year from April to November, you can experience SUP in Yamaguchi City, which is about 30 minutes by Shinkansen from Fukuoka and Hiroshima! ! This time we will introduce information on how to experience it.

What is SUP?

"SUP" is an abbreviation for "Stand Up Paddleboard," and it is a water sport in which you stand on a board and move across the water surface while alternating left and right rows with a single paddle. It is an activity that is a combination of canoeing and surfing, and because the board itself is stable, you can easily stand on it without any special skills, making it easy to enjoy even for beginners and those who are not confident in exercise.

Canoe + Surfing ⇨ Sapp

Experience impressions

Experience date: 2023.9.26

I was a little nervous before I started, but when I actually rode it, it wasn't as difficult as I thought and it was easy to operate. With a little practice, you can stand on the board.

As we moved further forward, we even saw a jellyfish! The feeling of swimming in the sea with jellyfish was very novel and relaxing.

Many people think of SUP as a leisurely paddle, but you can actually sleep on the board, do yoga, and even go fishing. There are many different ways to play, so everyone should try them out!
