SUP Standup Paddling Photography - watershots of SUP Surfing from Hawaii, Europe & elsewhere

Shooting Standup Paddling or SUP from the water is exciting. Equipped with a waterhousing, I am close to the action as a photographer when the SUP surfer is styling on the wave or places his turn directly in front of my lens - that's how spectacular watershots come about.

SUP Standup Paddling and traveling go together really well. Travel features of surf-trips for magazines often offer opportunities to combine surfing lifestyle photography with SUP Standup paddling action photos, whether from the water, a helicopter, the land or a boat.
In this gallery you'll see some of my personal favorite images from this relatively new water sport, which is very popular around the world already.

Please be sure to also check out this additional gallery of SUP photos!
