2/ It's simple:
When you're on your stand up paddleboard you don't need a permit or license. The only equipment you need is a good board, a paddle, shorts and a T-shirt. Most importantly the lake/beach/bay never closes you can go whenever. Just grab your paddleboard and go. |
3/ It's a top stress fighter:
Paddling is just you, the water, your breathing and the sound of the paddle diving into the water . Seriously, after about 20 minutes of steady paddling, the pressure of everyday life heeds to a much much clearer perspective. Paddling also releases endorphins, those "feel good" chemicals your body produces that produce a feeling of well-being. Don't take my word for it check out Wikipedia they even refer to it as "a morphine-like substance originating from within the body." Natures reward system for doing something good for your body. |

4/ It's excellent for your health:
An all over work out that doesn't feel like one, it's naturally ergonomic, it's easy on your knees (unlike running), and strengthens your bones helping prevent osteoporosis—something that's important to women as they age. It's good for the heart, similarly to running the cardio exercise can lead to dramatically reduced risk for heart disease. When you're pushing yourself hard on the water aerobic form of exercise helps to improve the condition of your cardiovascular system and lowers your blood pressure. |
