Paddleboarding Made Easier

By Amy Barry


Compared with various other sports, paddleboarding can be an easy sport to take on. You do not always need a great deal of strength or ability to start, and you can become stronger and increase your skills as you practice the sport.

In addition, this is a low-impact sport, which means that you do not need to stress so much about injuring yourself. You can also learn this sport at practically any age. This special water sport is also a flexible activity, because you can take part in a team workout or class, with a buddy, or do it by yourself. Below are four tips to help you get started.



Getting the Proper Size Paddle

The proper size of paddle will position your body at the correct upright position, thus lessening back stress. This is very important to be aware of, considering that you will be moving in a repeated motion. You may not know that you have actually strained your back until it is too late.

In general, people ought to choose the length that is about 8 to 10 inches taller than their standing height. Some paddles can be adjusted and for that reason are easy to place at the proper length.

Supplies to Take Along:

Since you can be exercising on the water for an hour or longer at one time, it is important that you bring any materials with you that you might require. Keep in mind that you can get a significant amount of sun exposure from both the sun and the reflection off the water. Typical materials consist of sunscreen, sunglasses, drinking water, music player and a hat.

Most boards possess cargo rings or bands on which you can attach your gear. If you need to bring things like a mobile phone, camera or keys, ensure you have a water-proof bag to keep them in.

Benefits to a Class.

Just like many sports, it's a great idea to sign up for a class initially to learn the proper stance, methods and other types of skills. A lesson can help you learn paddleboarding faster, and this will enable you to enjoy the sport more. Knowing appropriate stance is important, as it will prevent potential from an improper paddling technique.

With this sport, you actually only require one lesson, so there is not a big expense or time investment. Gear is typically supplied, so all you have to do is show up.

Getting Gear.

Stand Up Paddleboards are not cheap to purchase, however, leasing equipment over and over again can get even more pricey. Think of how frequently you are planning to head out on the water each season and multiply that by local rental fees.

You can save a lot of cash by getting an inexpensive inflatable SUP that you can take with you wherever you go - even while traveling. There are a few inflatable paddleboard kits that you can get for less than $600.

What You Can Do After You Have Found out how to Stand Paddle ...

Once learning the sport, some people turn their leisure paddling into a regular exercise. Others train for races while individuals who like surfing take their boards to the ocean to experiment with paddle surfing. An additional choice is SUP yoga and various other workout courses that are hung on the water using the board.
