Why You Should Try Stand Up Paddle

Stand up paddle (SUP) brings many benefits to the body as well as the spirit. You won't even know you're exercising! At the same time, you'll also get to see our planet from a whole new point of view!

1. Tone your muscles

Stay in shape while having fun. Rowing on the stand up paddle, even at slow pace, requires a lot of cardio and muscle:

- Legs that provide stability

- The abdominal belt that transmits the rowing effort to the board

- The upper body (shoulders, arms, dorsal) which is activated in the rowing movement.

If you use an inflatable paddle, using the pump for a few minutes to reach the correct inflation pressure is also a good way to warm up before practice

2. Go on an adventure and starting a new sport

On the water, everything is different. Evolving on the water in an unfamiliar environment is like going on an adventure near our home, rediscovering the land from the water, going where you've never been before. You can easily reach very quiet places in the countryside. This feeling of freedom and discovery is exhilarating and makes it easy to get rid of your daily worries. Be careful, you may want to go back to the water again right after!

3. Family fun

An easy nautical sport to share. With a single stand-up paddle, you can have fun with your family. It's easy to bring your kids to the front of the board. And you will see that they will soon want to try to stand up and paddle like you! And if you have a second stand-up paddle, you get the 2-way getaways on the water, where everything is quiet.
