SUPIA Youth SUP Days Coming This June!

DANA POINT, California - It’s that time of year again! During the entire month of June, events will be held all over the US, Puerto Rico and as far as Switzerland, focused on getting young people outside and on the water enjoying the fastest growing water sport – Stand Up Paddle boarding. SUPIA Youth SUP Days are designed to get as many kids on the water as possible, with a focus on educate in skills, water safety, and environmental stewardship.

For the first time, we are proud to announce that Starboard International has stepped up as our Presenting Sponsor. Along with their assistance in covering costs, they are bringing their affiliated, SUP KIDS programs to the events teaching kids about be global ambassadors for water conservation.

SUP Industry Association is teaming up with member businesses to hold these events at no charge on waterways all over the country and abroad. Offering a free event to youth at the beginning of the season encourages them to get involved without financial constraint, to try something new, to get outdoors! And then perhaps take it to the next level – join a summer program, plan a birthday party, organize a family or friend event, train for races, buy a board – great for them and for the SUP Industry.
