Standup paddling is best described as "Yoga on Water" ™

We LOVE Standup paddling

SUPSNZ is your one stop SUP shop. We distribute Starboard, the best and largest offering in Stand Up Paddle boarding (SUP) equipment, directly via our online shop and through selected resellers around New Zealand.

Our goal is to nurture the growth of SUP in New Zealand, by participating in and creating events that are helping to build a strong Stand Up community, and enabling you to connect with each other, share water adventures, and learn more about the sport.

“SUP is what you make of it. Take your board everywhere and you have fun wherever you go.”

I am passionate about SUP; for fun, fitness and adventure; on flat water or surf; ocean, lake or river. I want everyone to share the stoke you experience when you step on a board; to be taken away from the busyness of everyday life and enter the world of an adventurer. To feel liberated, empowered, alive.
