What is Paddleboarding?
Well, although paddleboarding is pretty new in the UK, it has a long and fascinating history. The sport originated in Polynesia and was adopted by surf school instructors in Hawaii as it allowed them to keep an eye on surfers from a stable vantage point.
Paddleboarding involves standing on a super wide, long board and propelling yourself through the water using a long blade. This great new activity is healthy, invigorating and promotes balance, strength and general fitness.
Paddleboarding is low impact, easier to learn than surfing and attainable for everyone, suitable for individuals, families and couples.
No experience is necessary, you don't have to be a surfer or adrenaline junkie to learn the newest and fastest growing adventure sport around
Paddleboarding is also a great way to escape the crowds as you can cruise along gently while taking in the stunning views .
What's more, paddleboard is a great alternative to surfing. For experienced surfers, paddleboarding can be a way to enjoy the surf on days when there is little surf.
And for non-surfers, it is a sensational way of getting out in the water and enjoying an awesome new experience.
