Did the chinese invent the SUP?

Just got back from a travelling through South West China. Saw some amazing sup skill while cruising down the Li River in Yang Shuo. These guys selling fruit paddle straight at the ferry in a seeming head on suicide mission, spin off to the side at the last second, grab the boat rail and hook on so they can sell their wares to the passengers.

I wonder if all Chinese SUPs come with all the fruit

optional extra I think

Hauled this one out again

yes
