SUPSA
Stand-Up Paddling South Africa (SUPSA) in partnership with Surfing South Africa, is the national sports body for stand-up paddle board riding in South Africa. SUPSA was formalised in September 2010 in Cape Town after initial discussions in the previous year from among KZN SUP riders about the need for a body to regulate the sport in South Africa.
