CENTER BARNSTEAD, New Hampshire – Standup Journal publisher Clay Feeter says he is asked almost daily, "How many standup paddlers are there out there?"

His answer is "I have no idea."

But as a fair indicator Standup Journal recently pulled a report from their website showing unique site visits over a one-year period, between July 14th, 2009 thru July 14th, 2010.

"I'd say this is fairly accurate, though certainly a low estimate," says Feeter. "In other words, we know there are at least this many 'bitten' standup paddlers in each of these countries; it's a good starting point."

Of 19,004 Unique Visitors here are the top 10 sup countries and how many individuals (unique visitors) came to standupjournal.com over the past year (see table to right).
