Paddle board (SUP) is a magical water sport that is popular both internationally and in China.

In the past two years, there has been a new sport in China. It consists of a board and a paddle. Of course, it is played in the water. It can be played standing up, sitting down, or even lying down to sleep. It can be used It can be used for travel, surfing, fishing, and yoga. What is such a magical thing? Why is he so popular all over the world?

Let’s have a casual chat about this magical thing. The English abbreviation of the paddle board is called sup. Its full name is Stand-Up Paddling. The Chinese literal translation is stand-up skateboard, or paddle board for short. As the name suggests, it is paddled while standing with your feet. , many people mistakenly think it is a surfboard, some people call it a kayak, and some even call it a rubber boat. In fact, from the origin, there is a more popular saying that it has to do with skateboards and snowboards. Surfing, call me Dad. Legend has it that a long time ago in a surfing resort in Hawaii, there was an average player. He couldn’t catch the wave among many good surfers. One day, he suddenly thought, why don’t I use a paddle to surf? This made it easy to get in front of others, so paddleboarding was born. This is why pure surfers don’t like paddleboarders. We now want to really get back to the roots. It is very difficult, including the current Olympic Committee, which has not yet finalized whether paddleboarding is a surfing event or a paddle event, so there is no paddleboarding event in the Olympics.

But we determined that the early paddle boards were made of the same material as surfboards and were rigid, so for a long time, they were only developed among a small number of players, until one day someone had a sudden idea to use a new material in On the paddle board, it is brushed material. What is brushed material? The principle of the mats that gymnasts step on is like bicycle spokes, which can make the wheels light and hard. Paddleboards made of this material can be folded into quilts when not inflated, but when full of air, they can be folded like a quilt. The hardness can be equal to that of a hard board, so its portability and cheap price have allowed paddle boards to develop rapidly in mass leisure sports. The threshold for using paddle boards is particularly low, but its ductility is very high. It can be used for both leisure and leisure activities. For fun, it can also be used for water adventure travel, and has even been developed. Yoga paddle board, dragon boat board, etc. Since it is a sport, there will definitely be competition to see who can skate faster, who can circle more skillfully, and who can move better.

These are the things that many people who are born with relatively developed motor nerves love to do, so much so that the rivers in foreign competitions are so crowded that not even a fish can fit in them, or you can still find that there are many people in this dense crowd. , his hair is white, so what is the difference between him and kayaking, rowing, and dragon boating? The biggest difference is that theoretically, these boats and boats are all boats, and you can only sit in the cabin, while a paddle board is a board. Although in competitive competitions, you can only skate while standing, but in leisure time, you can sit on it. You can play with it on your knees, lying down, or whatever you want, and it won’t turn over or sink. Even if you fall into the water, you can easily climb out. Therefore, it is loved by beauties, handsome men, and little kids. Of course, little kids don’t play skateboards. What they like most is to jump from the board into the water, then climb up again, jump off again, and then climb up again, and so on. You can play all day long, and by the way, dogs also like it. So besides diving and paddle boarding, what other fun is there?

First of all, looking at the scenery on the water and looking at the scenery on land are completely different experiences. Especially handsome guys and beauties, especially like to show off their figures on paddle boards. Beach shorts and bikinis are basically standard. Wrong! This scenery is not the scenery I just wanted to say. What I want to say is, a small boat, a mountain with wind and rain and clear waves. What I also want to say is the blue sky, the blue sea and the scenery of dolphins jumping across the board. What I want to say even more What’s more, when you encounter a lake while driving with your family in a car, you can only stand by the water, dip your feet in the water, and then say, “It’s so beautiful,” and another car just has a lake in the trunk. Take out the Allegro and inflate it, then you can walk along the water, take pleasure in living in the water, rejoice with the birds, and say something on the other side of the mountain, “It’s so beautiful.” Other than that, others can only sit on the shore. When fishing, you often get into trouble trying to grab a good fishing spot, but you can paddle board to the middle of the lake. The most important thing about making a nest is that no one will compete with you for the fish. Those who like lures can chase the fish everywhere.

In addition, others who like yoga can only do yoga in the gym. You can listen to the chirping of birds and breathe fresh air while doing yoga in the water. Because the slight shaking of the board can make you feel slightly nervous, you can train to a higher level. More core strength, and finally return to the origin. As an exercise, it is a whole-body exercise. If you learn the correct movements, you will find that its strength is from the legs to the waist to the back, and then to the shoulders. Finally, the overall strength of the arm is just like the existence of opening up the two meridians in martial arts novels. Therefore, in theory, you can train every muscle in the body. If it is more scientific, it can be a kind of aerobic exercise. , it can also be an anaerobic exercise. Having said that paddleboarding is so good, how many skills are needed to play it? I can responsibly tell you that I have seen more than 90% of people go out and skate a few laps successfully for the first time, even though they are wobbly and shaky. After coming back, everyone will say that it was so fun and not as difficult as they imagined. There are even many people who are naturally afraid of water and cannot swim. After putting on their life jackets and stepping on the pedals, they can travel far and wide. In China, paddle boarding can Where to play? Theoretically, you can play in all rivers, lakes and seas, but beginners must start playing step by step from entering the water. Of course, there are also some waters that are not so playable, such as legal roads with boat traffic. You cannot play beyond your own knowledge and technical ability, as it is dangerous. You cannot play in certain waters, such as rivers with rolling dams that flow too fast, particularly large open waters, and waters with religious beliefs.

Having said so much, paddleboarding is definitely not for surfing the Internet. Whether it is fun or not, you have to experience it yourself to understand it. Find a club near you to experience it.
