SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - MAY 06:  Paul Hawkins paddles towards a set of waves on his stand-up paddleboard at Queenscliff Beach on May 6, 2009 in Sydney, Australia. Modern Stand-up paddleboarding originated in Hawaii in the 1960's as a way of surf instructors monitoring their class whilst out in the water.
