What is stand up paddle ?
Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a water sport where the participant stands on a wide board and uses a paddle to move across the water. It's a fun and accessible activity, ideal for discovering new aquatic landscapes. Stand-up paddleboarding originated in Polynesia, where locals used boards and paddles to travel on the water. Modernized in Hawaii in the 1940s, it has gained worldwide popularity due to its simplicity and accessibility. Paddleboarding can be enjoyed on various bodies of water: lakes, rivers, and the sea, each offering a unique experience.
Benefits for the body and mind
Although stand-up paddleboarding is quite accessible, balance can be a challenge for beginners. However, this difficulty quickly becomes a benefit for staying fit. While paddling, not only do the arms work, but the legs and abs also engage to maintain balance. SUP is a full-body workout, involving the entire body almost without you realizing it!
Stand-up paddleboarding reduces stress by providing complete immersion in nature, which promotes relaxation and mental calm. Practicing paddleboarding on the water allows you to disconnect from daily stress and enjoy the tranquility of your surroundings.
