SUP a Lake! Stand Up Paddling Not Just for Oceans Any Longer!
Stand Up Paddle surfing is traditionally an ocean sport, but once SUP ATX Founder Nick Matzorkis begain paddling, that all changed. He launched SUP ATX with the mission of spreading the fast growing sport from surfing areas on oceans, to lakes and rivers of all kinds around the world.
In September of 2009, the SUP ATX Stand Up Paddle Journey from Malibu to Austin, in many ways, represented the official movement of the sport from the coasts inland. A group of stand up paddle surfers from Malibu and Austin embarked on a four day journey to introduce and popularize the sport of stand up paddling on lakes, rivers, swimming pools, and even duck ponds.
