OAHU, Hawaii - The waterman league is preparing for a great deal of action in 2013.  They will continue with the Stand up World Tour (a year long sup surfing competition that determines a winner based on point accumulation) and the Stand Up World Series (a series of sup racing contests that also determines a winner based on point accumulation).

2013 looks to be even more exciting, however, than last year as the league is introducing a Women's World Championship Tour for SUP surfing that will run alongside the men's in Hawaii, Brazil, California and France.
