SUPKids Workbook

Now we know how to stay safe
& we’ve learnt the basics, it’s
time to go on an adventure !
SUP’ing is a great
way to explore your
local environment
and see new places.
Some adventures can
happen far away, on
the other side of the
world, and some can
happen in your own
backyard.
Story of Thor Heyerldahl
Thor Heyerldahl was an amazing explorer from Norway. He set off on
an adventure to prove that the oceans’ currents could take him all
the way from Peru to Tahiti. No one believed that he would make it.
So he and his team built a raft (they called it Kon Tiki) and set sail
from a place called Callao. It took them 101 days to cross the ocean
before they arrived on the island of Raroia. They had no motor on
their boat and had to catch fish to eat.
