Theme: Stand-Up Paddle Boards
Author: KayakGuy
And I thought kayaking was fun! The latest “thing” in paddle sports is Stand-Up Paddle Boards. They’re very similar to a surfboard, but you don’t need waves to enjoy them. They can be used on any kind of water; rivers, lakes, flat water or waves. You stand on the board and use a long paddle with a handle on top and a blade on the end. Because you’re standing, you’re using more muscles than you would sitting in your kayak, so it’s a wonderful workout. Standing on the water also gives you a great view of what’s around you on and in the water. If you do get some waves, you can actually surf with the board, but the neat part is you don’t need much wave action to propel the board. They’re available in solid core models like surfboards and there are a couple inflatable versions on the market.
I saw this picture of Jennifer Aniston on a stand-up paddle board, so I guess even the celebs are getting into this unique paddle sport. So, how do I find out where she paddle boards?
