Objectives
1. Improve Technical Skills and Performance
Athletes may have a high level of technical skills, but there is always room for improvement. Team training provides an opportunity for team members to refine their techniques and enhance their performance in the water. This can include focusing on stroke efficiency, balance and stability, maneuverability, and other key technical skills specific to the sport.
2. Enhance Physical Fitness and Adaptability
Athletes need to maintain optimal physical condition to participate in high-level competitions. Team training is a great way to improve fitness as it offers a chance for full-body workouts that can enhance strength, endurance, and agility. This can help team members perform at their best in competitions and recover faster from intense training.
3. Foster Mental Resilience and Adaptability
Athletes need to have strong mental fortitude to perform at their highest level. Team training is challenging both mentally and physically, requiring focus, determination, and resilience. By pushing their limits and overcoming obstacles in the water, team members can develop the mental resilience and adaptability needed for success in competitions.
4. Increase Tactical Knowledge and Decision-making Skills
Athletes need to be able to make strategic decisions quickly under high-pressure situations. Team training provides an opportunity for team members to develop tactical knowledge and decision-making skills. This can include analyzing different water conditions, practicing competition strategies, and gaining a deeper understanding of the sport and its rules.

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.
