surf sport.
Advantages of
standup paddle surfing
- Stay in shape-Standup
paddling is an outstanding full-body workout. It's an excellent way
to cross-train for all kinds of sports.
- Ride often- You
can ride tons of waist-high and smaller waves that wouldn't be possible
even on longboards, much less shortboards. Basically, you can paddle
more than twice as fast as your average longboard. Flat water cruising
is still fun and highly recommended in order build the skills to challenge
the surf.
- Transportation/cruising-
With the leverage of the standup position, you can out paddle a kayak
or canoe. With the high vantage point, you can see over marsh grass,
waves or other obstacles that you wouldn't be able to in a sitdown
position, making navigating that much easier.
- Fun-
Standing up is so much more fun that laying down on a board or sitting
in a boat. Also, the technical aspect of using the paddle is fresh
and interesting compared to conventional surfing.
