Why not give Paddle Surfing a try when on holiday in the Seychelles...


Stand up paddle surfing (SUP), or in the Hawaiian language Hoe he'e nalu, is a unique form of surfing ideal for warm waters like that of the Seychelles. Hoe he'e nalu directly translated into English - hoe means paddle, he'e means to surf or slide and nalu means wave.

The main difference between Paddle boarding and surfing is the equipment—paddle boarding requires a paddle and a longer, wider board. The paddle allows surfers to propel themselves and catch waves a bit more easily. When a wave is approaching, the paddle is used to get to the crest of the wave and is then lifted from the water when the surfer actually catches it.
