Paddle boards are one of the fastest growing forms of water sport. Paddle boarding is similar to surfing, but instead of using a paddle, people use a board on top of a float. People can also use wake boards and jet skis. Stand up paddle boarding is another derivative of paddle boarding and is similar to stand up paddle surfing as well.
Stand up Paddle Boards have gained in popularity over the past several years. The reason for this is because it’s fun to paddle and the water is generally flat. It’s also a low risk activity for many people because there aren’t a lot of tall or heavy items in the water to keep your balance down. The following are some of the benefits of buying stand up paddle boards.
One of the major benefits of owning an inflatable paddle board is the ability to go off the beaten path and do things that other paddle boards may not allow. For instance, you can go surf kite surfing if you want to. Paddle boarding is not only fun, but it is also great exercise as well. The main reason why people love to paddle boards is because of the exercise factor, but they also love to go kite surfing and stand up paddle boarding. If you want to go to a volcano or live in an island, inflatable boards are the way to go.
Another great benefit of paddle boards is that they come in many different shapes and sizes. There are all different types of paddle boards such as river rowing boards, freestyle boards and stand-up paddle boards. River rowing boards are used for exercising on a large lake or river. Stand up paddle boarding is used in the ocean, in rivers, streams and lakes. All of these different types of paddle boards provide different workouts for people.
The advantage of buying an inflatable board is that it provides an endless amount of destinations to explore. Inflatable stand-up paddle boards are very versatile and can be used almost anywhere. You can take them camping, over to your neighbor’s house, in the mountains, on the beach, in a river or in a pond. With the variety of places that an inflatable stand-up board can go, you really have endless possibilities when it comes to exploring the world with your board.
There are many benefits to owning an inflatable paddle boards. An added benefit is the freedom of being able to go where ever your feet take you. Unlike a personal flotation device, an inflatable stand-up paddle board does not need to be stored near your heart. If you get tired of standing in one spot, you just put it down and go for a swim, cruise or go surfing!
The first type of water boards that were introduced to North American paddling in the 1970’s was called the displacement hull boards. These boards were a radical departure from all other types of water boards at the time. They had big high heel fins, low steps, and a rather unique design. These types of boards made for rapid growth and a fast finish. The idea behind this concept was to give the “surfer” a wakeboard experience without the paddle. These types of boards would act as if they were surfing with the assistance of the paddle and the rider being able to do the “sprint” needed to finish.
The next style of board came about after this innovation. Paddle boarding became popular in the United States and in Europe. This board had similar characteristics to the stand-up paddleboards except that instead of the paddle, the rider used their own body weight to propel themselves forward. These boards gave excellent performance advantages but also had some performance disadvantages. The down side to using your own body weight for propulsion rather than an attached paddle is that you can only propel yourself forward as fast as your own body is able to move and this may limit your ability to catch smaller wakeboards or to perform tricks with the bigger hard boards.
