Stand Up Paddle, a paddlers guide

Stand Up Paddle boarding, shares a very similar lineage to that of outrigger canoeing, an indigenous Pacific wide paddle sport, to which the author points out as being the more relevant and accurate point of source, not the sport of surfing, generally heralded as its central root extension.

Steve takes the reader on a journey, back in time up to the present day and considers some of the challenges ahead, while comprehensively covering the technical aspects of the sport and the evolution of paddling techniques.
In short Stand Up Paddle is the most comprehensive book yet written on the subject and a valuable addition to any paddler’s library.
