Welcome to 1770 SUP!
SUP-ing (Stand-Up Paddle Surfing) is an ancient form of surfing, that can be traced back to the very early days of Polynesia. It’s a water sport for everybody and the fastest growing board sport in the world ... in that anyone can do it.
It is very easy to learn, great fun and a gentle full-body workout while ‘walking’ on water ... 1770 SUP has put together tours in the pristine environment (Agnes Water and the Town of 1770 in Queensland) that offer a wide range of conditions, from flat, calm water to several levels of wave action. We will not only take you stand-up paddling, but will provide opportunities to try your hand at kitesurfing (intro kite flying only), try to catch a fish (bear in mind, they don't call it catch!), view many different species of birds and wildlife in the unique mangrove environment that is easily accessible with these fabulous toys, perhaps paddle alongside dolphins and impressive eagle rays and maybe even catch a crab for dinner. Discover the natural beauty of Mother Nature and yourself in it...
