If you have ever seen those movie scenes where the sun is setting, the sky is covered in an ambiance of red and orange hues, and the waters of the most powerful and uncontrollable force are unmoving, then you will surely feel a sense of longing and serenity.
Something is calming about the ocean, in all its might and strength it offers a welcome and purity we could all use a bit of in our lives.
Now, think about when you’re sitting on the sands watching surfers, swimmers, and paddle boarders bob along with the timid current and how magical it must feel to be in the thick of this experience. It is no wonder they are in the water for hours on end, the sky ever-changing in picturesque forms and you simply wish you could be out there with them.
Getting in the water.
It is all good and well-wishing you could be in the sea but if you are new to the whole paddle board sport then a few key factors are going to be essential in setting you off on the right foot.
Firstly, and I highly recommend this, you should be an able and ideally a confident swimmer. Situations can happen in the blink of an eye and the next thing you know you’re in the water neck high and this is where basic swimming survival skills would kick in. Treading water may well just be what saves your life.
If that component is ticked off then the next thing you’re going to need is equipment, the physical components needed to make the event happen. But, with so many brands and products on the market, being overwhelmed by it all is a given. You need professional advice and guidance from industry veterans and who will show you the ins and outs of it all.
To see the basic set up of such a sport take a look at the paddle boards that have been tried and tested and recommended for beginners, what’s great is you begin to understand the varying weights and necessities needed to perform the activity correctly and safely.
Having the right tools for the job not only makes it that much easier to execute but it becomes enjoyable within a few tries with less frustration from falls or incorrect posture.
What is paddle boarding?
Essentially it is an innovative combination of two existing sports, surfing and kayaking, but with paddle boarding you get the best of both activities, you can stand (the increasingly popular choice in the last decade), kneel, or sit while propelling forwards with pulling motions using a paddle.
It has become a go-to fitness option for those who love the open waters, enjoy beautiful surroundings, and want to feel like they have had a good workout at the end of the day other than sweating it out in a fitness center.
