Championship
We cordially invite schools from Hong Kong to participate in the inaugural Inter-School Stand-up Paddleboarding Championship in 2024. In addition to the individual awards for the top three athletes in each category, there will also be a school ranking award for the overall top three schools. Furthermore, to encourage active participation, every participant will receive a certificate of completion after the event.
Stand-up paddleboarding is suitable for individuals aged 8 and above, including primary and secondary school students. It can help students improve their physical coordination, balance, muscle strength, endurance, and reaction abilities. Additionally, it can also increase students’ knowledge about the ocean, weather changes, and other related topics. By gaining experience through this activity, it can also help alleviate students’ stress and anxiety.

About Us
The Hong Kong Surfing and Stand Up Paddle Association (HKSURFSUP) was established in 2011 and is the 76th member country of the International Surfing Association (ISA). This means that we can send surfers and stand up paddle athletes to represent Hong Kong in ISA competitions against athletes from around the world.
As the founding organization of stand up paddleboarding in Hong Kong, the HKSURFSUP actively promotes the local development of stand up paddle activities and competitions. Since its establishment, we have organized over 20 local and international events, attracting over thousands of participants. Our goal is to improve the athletes’ physical fitness, safety awareness, and environmental consciousness, and to promote a healthy marine ecosystem through stand up paddleboarding.
We hope to support and inspire local institutions in actively discovering and nurturing young athletes with potential. We provide professional training by qualified coaches to represent Hong Kong in international competitions.
In the past, we have collaborated with over 15 international schools, 20 local schools, 5 media organizations, 26 non-profit organizations, and over 40 institutions to organize various activities. These include co-organizing stand up paddleboarding courses with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, collaborating with Red Bull for promotional events, organizing beach cleaning activities with the Hong Kong Children & Youth Services, filming collaborations with TVB, co-organizing water activities tours with the Hong Kong Tourism Board, and conducting regular training camps with different schools.
