SCHOOL SUP
Stand-up paddleboarding activities are suitable for students aged 8 and above, including primary and secondary school students. In addition to helping students improve their physical coordination, muscle strength, endurance, and reaction ability, it also increases their understanding of the ocean, weather changes, and more. Students can gain experience from these activities, which can help reduce their stress and anxiety.
In light of this, the Hong Kong Surfing and Stand-up Paddle Association has launched the “2024 Hong Kong School SUP Promotion Program”, hoping to raise awareness of stand-up paddleboarding among more young people and discover more potential young athletes, cultivating them to become representatives of Hong Kong in stand-up paddleboarding competitions.
Since 2011, the Hong Kong Surfing and Stand-up Paddleboarding Association has organized numerous local and international stand-up paddleboarding competitions in Hong Kong. Stand-up paddleboarding has also gained popularity in Hong Kong and internationally, with various major events, and the youth category has achieved remarkable results.

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.
