In a fast and competitive world ‘recreation’ means squeezing relaxation, social networking, fun AND exercise into the limited amount of free time we have. The oceans and lakes are great places to do these things, but for a long time the more watershy people stayed on the beach because traditional water sports seemed too daunting. And let’s face it, not everyone has an ocean on their doorstep. Well it’s time to shift that mindset because stand up paddling is here and ANYONE can do it, whether you’re near the seaside or not. Try it on inner city waterways, lakes or inland rivers.
SUP is also the hottest way to get that full body workout with the foundation of core strength that the fitness industry is buzzing about. It’s the combination of paddling and balance coordination that improves overall core strength, making this the most fantastic cross-training sport in the world! Stand Up Paddling is so flexible that you can choose from course racing and wave riding workouts challenging your mind and every muscle group in your body, or a chilled out island paddle on a long board... where from your standing position you’re able to check out everything that’s going on around you, not just the incoming swells. Have a catch-up session with your mates, meet new friends as you cruise past each other. It’s easy on your mind you literally meditate, while increasing endurance, toning your physique and strengthening and stabilizing your cor muscle group.
