As we head slowly into the Chilean winter the south wind that usually picks up in the afternoon slowly backs off and the surf is pretty much good all day long most of the time. Sup is a great option on those long point breaks because they’re exposed to a strong lateral current that constantly pushes the surfer down the coast forcing him into a non-stop paddle-battle to reach the lineup. Obviously it is much easier to manage such an inconvenience standing up on a board rather than lying down. One more advantage to the sup is that cold water is easier to deal with when you’re not immersed in it the whole time… and yes, the water is cold down there.
