Stand up paddling boarding allows people who don’t have the physical fitness that surfing requires to get out and enjoy the surf a lot easier. Because stand up paddleboards have so much more volume, width and usually length it makes it relay easy to stay stable and paddle. so if you thought surfing looked too hard maybe paddle boarding is your thing
4. Your going to get seriously fit
Paddleboarding can be a great work out and based on the full body work out you can get, it can be a great cardiovascular and muscular workout. Its been suggested that causally paddleboarding at a leisurely pace can burn 300 – 450 calories per hour, surfing & touring can burn up to 700 calories and racing can burn up to 1100 calories. So if you were looking to get that lean six pack or lose a little body fat SUP could be your answer to get the lean body you always wanted.
5. It’s Becoming very popular
Yes SUP is not only for a select few you can now get board almost anywhere there is water and now with courses, instructor-led classes and inflatable paddleboards, the sport is becoming super accessible. Its no wonder that stand up paddle boarding has become the world’s fastest-growing water sport. Yet this new sport is meant to be older than surfing itself, originating in Africa thousands of years ago and used by Polynesia and Hawaiian islands as ways to help them travel the oceans and get their boats into shore. in the UK there has been an explosion in social paddling groups, paddling events and competitions. The accessibility means you don’t have to live near the coast to go paddling you just need some water and I can only see the sport growing more.
So what are you waiting for… find your local school or shop, rent a board or get a lesson from an instructor and give it a go you won’t regret it
