Why you should take up SUP surfing
Like other water sports, SUP promotes physical development and hardening of the body. As a result of classes, certain muscle groups are strengthened in a person, coordination and a sense of balance are improved. Also, regular standing rowing workouts allow you to develop concentration.
In just a few years, SUP-boarding has become known in all countries of the world and has gained thousands of fans.
Today, standing rowers gather on the beaches in different parts of the world and organize amateur swims or speed competitions. So you can easily find like-minded people with whom you will have a good time. Other benefits of SUP surfing include:
- The ability to move on the board in absolutely any body of water
- Fitness for both single skating and for racing or sharing fun with friends
- Ease of use and storage of inventory
- Many positive emotions from being on the water
If rowing while standing is still difficult for you, at first you can kneel on the board. This way you will be able to quickly catch the balance and find the position in which it will be most convenient to control the SUP board. In the future, begin to gradually rise above the board and hold the paddle already straightened to its full height.
