PADDLE

💡 What is paddle boarding?

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a relatively new sport that has its origins in Polynesian traditions. Polynesian fishermen stood on canoes to navigate the lagoons, a practice later adopted by Hawaiian surfers in the 1940s. They used large boards and paddles to move upright on the water, both for pleasure and to monitor the waves. Paddleboarding, in its current form, experienced a spectacular boom in the early 2000s, thanks to iconic surfing figures who popularized it as a sport accessible to all. Unlike surfing, SUP can be practiced on calm waters such as lakes, rivers, or even calm seas, making it an ideal activity for exploration and relaxation. In addition to its fun aspect, paddleboarding is an excellent physical activity. It exercises balance, strengthens core muscles, and improves coordination. Day and night, it offers a unique and immersive experience, allowing you to discover landscapes from a new perspective, at the peaceful pace of paddling. A practice that blends modernity, tradition, and communion with nature.
