Reasons Why Paddle Boarding is Getting Popular

January 02, 2021 by Jeremy Lindy

You may have seen them during your last visit to the beach or maybe someone you know wouldn’t stop badgering you to try it, so you decide to give it a shot. On your first day, you’re surrounded by people lugging around boards 6 to 12 feet in length with paddles just as long, you then realize that this sport is picking up traction. But why is it getting popular? Is it just a fad or is this a real sport on the rise? Well, here are some reasons why people are checking out paddle boarding resources such as www.globosurfer.com and getting fond of picking up a paddle.

1. A Great Form of Exercise

Whether you want to lose weight or improve your strength and conditioning, paddleboarding has got you covered. The motions involved in the sport can help you shed off those unwanted fats and develop muscles while having fun. It targets your core, arms, and legs as you paddle away under some warm sunshine in the great open water. And because it’s a low-impact sport, you won’t have to worry about injuries and strains on your knees and joints. So if tired of getting duped by weight-loss gimmicks, looking to get away from the banal gym environment and costly membership fees, or just want to work out at your own pace, paddleboarding is a suitable option for you.

2.Enjoy the Outdoors

You can incorporate a lot of activities with paddleboarding. Some people use it for some light fishing, exercise board, or just exploring lakes and other bodies of water. There are numerous types of paddleboards that have been developed to cater to these activities, at StandUpPaddleBoardsReview.com you can get to know these variants and how people enjoy them. If you’re familiar with your board, it’ll be easy for you to check out new routes and give you unparalleled access to beautiful areas that you wouldn’t get to enjoy otherwise. People who are naturally drawn to explore new places can appreciate paddleboarding as well as those who are inclined to outdoor activities.

3. Transportation Is Not a Hassle

One of the greatest advantages of paddleboarding over kayaking or surfing is that the inflatable option is its portability. It is easy to bring your paddleboard in and out of the water that you won’t have to think much of it. You don’t need a roof rack to hold your board, a simple bag will suffice to hold and transport your gear without drilling a hole into your pocket. Also, if you’re traveling to different destinations, you won’t have to worry about getting a hefty charge on transportation for the board. This allows you to enjoy the different bodies of water of the place you visit, provided they allow these activities.

4. Retains Surf Culture

The “surf culture” can be described as being laid back and accommodating culture. However, it is limited by the surf season and beach life. Stand up paddleboarding (SUP) emulates the culture but makes it more accessible to people anywhere. If you live near the water you’ll be able to enjoy the relaxing lifestyle which can be comparable to living on a beach. Also, it is a lot easier for people to get started with SUP than surfing.

5. Socialize

Because the sport has tremendous mass appeal, it is easy to organize meet-ups, clubs, and events. People build connections and expand their network because it welcomes everyone who is a fan of the sport. People will also connect through similar interests outside of the sport like pets, fitness, advocacies, and others. Many have also gathered to conduct a clean-up drive, promote the conservation of natural habitats, or just to work out as a group. 

6. Great for the Family

The sport is also something the entire family can enjoy. Because it is easy even for young kids to participate, it has become one of the things that families tend to do whenever they’re out on the beach, lake, or river. You will see families taking the time off to enjoy nature while playing with their paddleboards.

7. They Are Affordable

 Aside from its accessibility to enjoy the sport in various bodies of water, people can also get a quick start in learning it because it is fairly affordable. There are a number of manufacturers that sell the equipment at prices that almost everyone can afford. They don’t also require special lift requirements, expensive travel arrangements, or costly gear to enjoy.

So there you have it, the reasons why this new sport dubbed “Beach-Boy Surfing” has gained the hearts of many outdoor enthusiasts. So the next time somebody asks you what’s up with this sport, you have around 6 good reasons why people are having a blast with their paddleboards.
