A little more than twenty years ago, Dave Kalama, Laird Hamilton and their Hawaiian colleagues probably had no idea that they would make history in sports. Successful and world-famous wave riders, when the sea did not offer high waves for surfing, took a paddle to their boards and trained by stand-up paddling. It didn't take long for others to follow suit, first in Hawaii, later in California and beyond. The turn of the millennium is considered the beginning of modern paddle surfing (supanja), which is currently the fastest developing sport. Because it is an attractive activity, the popularity of diving can be seen at every turn. In the last few years, Slovenia has been "overwhelmed" by more and more enthusiastic young people and a little less young people who take up surfing on all types of water.
