Stand Up Paddle Boards or SUP

---

Paddle boards are making a  great appearance today as an alternative to the sit on top kayaks or surf boards. There are times when you would want to surf or paddle your board while standing. This often gives you the leverage that you need to see the swells of currents before you get to the right place in the water.

Paddle boarding is very popular among the 15-44 year olds with the average age of 28 being the most interested in the sport. SUP，in a nutshell, is an acronym that stands for “stand up paddle boarding”, it is one of the fastest growing water sports today. It is a combination of kayaking and surfing, this sport is fundamentally standing on a surfboard while using a paddle to propel yourself. Stand Up Paddle boards are longer, wider, and more buoyant than traditional surfboards, which enables you to comfortably balance on them all while easily controlling them.

Paddle boards are the go to for stress relief in today’s modern world of fast paced life. When you are in your SUP board you are connected with nature once again, relaxing.

Paddling yourself on lakes, rivers, and other waterbodies can also be called paddle boarding. For sightseeing purposes, this is perfect. But this isn’t all it can do. If you really want an adventure of your life, you should go for surfing on ocean waves (where you need the best paddle boards). Paddling on river rapids is also one way of getting in touch with your adventurous side. On the other hand, if you want to be lazy like me – not always, but most of the time – use it for fishing!
