What is PaddleBoarding? Understanding the Basics
Standup paddleboarding combines balance, strength, and a love for the water, offering a unique way to explore both calm seas and dynamic waves. Standing on a wide, buoyant board, you use a long paddle to glide across the water, steering and propelling yourself forward. It’s an activity that’s easy to learn but offers plenty of challenges for those looking to progress. From building core strength to improving balance, paddleboarding provides a full-body workout while immersing you in the tranquility of the ocean. Whether cruising through flat water or catching waves, SUP is the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
