Historians would suggest, that stand-up paddle
surfing could be traced back to the islands
in the Polynesian triangle, with its strong
Hawaiian heritage this new activity is quickly
gaining popularity. Native tribes would have
been seen paddling in hollowed-out logs and
tree trunks. Now, these logs are extremely light,
well designed and colorful!
Who are those people you've noticed in the middle
of lakes and on our shorelines, who look as
if to be walking on water? They are people just
like you, but they* are the lucky pioneers who
have discovered this versatile sport;. Paddle
boarding can be considered a sport if you wish
to “ride” the waves or else put some muscle
into getting some speed or a leisure activity
if you choose to wander through winding canals
as if you are taking a walk or a bike ride throughout
a neighborhood with streets of water. The sport
can be experienced on your own or with a group
of people.
This is a sport for everybody – not just those
radical gen-x’ers. Paddle surfing is for people
who by no means considered “surfing” and for
those who have made surfing their way of life.
The first instant you stand on a board “on”
the water you feel entirely empowered and have
the desire to just Take off. The designs of
the boards make them so stable that they absorb
the “wave action”. All you require is a 15 minute
introduction to the various strokes which will
then {allow you to move in the water effortlessly
and with confidence. Within an hour or so you
sense as though you have “mastered” the cruise
and are prepared for some “waves.”
I have been asked on a number of occasions,
“what does it feel like?”* The “buzz” resembles
the wonderful state a child experiences after
riding their bicycle for the first time with
no training wheels and “not falling off.” It
is in that instant that you realize that you
have discovered a way to benefit from exercise
while spending time in the great outdoors and
having fun….either alone or with others. Many
newbie’s find themselves daydreaming as if they
are chief tribal warriors in the islands of
Polynesia centuries ago. It’s a trip!
Every time I’m out on a board, inquisitive onlookers
shout out…”what is that?” “Is it hard?” “Must
be a great workout!” “Where can I obtain a board
like that?”
Paddle boarding is versatile, Enjoyable, soothing
and a good workout! Anyone can do it and quite
frankly, it’s sexy!
