SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) is a sport where you stand on a board that is larger than a regular surfboard, paddle to ride the waves, and go for a walk on the ocean (cruise). In Hawaii, it is a popular marine sport known as the Beach Boy Style. It is gaining popularity in Japan as well, as it is fun to paddle while standing, and has a fitness effect. Why not enjoy the view of Zamami Island's crystal clear ocean from a different eye level than in a kayak? 【Important】Day-Trip Participation During the High-Speed Ferry Docking Period From October 20 to December 3, 2026, the high-speed ferry “Queen Zamami” will be out of service for scheduled maintenance.
