Supski

Supski is a portmanteau of "SUP" (Stand Up Paddleboard) and "ski," referring to a water sport that combines elements of paddleboarding and skiing. The activity involves using a specialized board, often wider and more stable than a traditional SUP, and propelling oneself through water using a paddle. The "ski" aspect typically comes into play through the use of specialized skis attached to the rider's feet, similar to water skis or wakeboards.

The goal in Supski is to glide across the water's surface, maintaining balance on the board while maneuvering with the paddle and the attached skis. Riders can perform turns and other maneuvers, carving through the water. The sport requires a good sense of balance, core strength, and coordination. It is often practiced on calm to moderately choppy waters, such as lakes, bays, or sheltered coastal areas. Equipment typically includes the Supski board, a paddle, and the foot skis. Safety gear such as a life vest is also recommended. Supski can be seen as a recreational activity for those looking for a new water sport challenge, or as a competitive discipline with its own set of rules and events.
