Stand-up paddle, a very popular leisure activity

In recent years, stand-up paddle has become a fashionable leisure activity. On beaches, lakes or rivers, inflatable boards are multiplying like hot cakes. But what is the reason for such a succès??

Versatility and versatility

The stand-up paddle is multi-usage?! Thanks to its very good stability, it can be used for many activities. Mainly designed for coastal hiking, you can also take small waves, surf or speed, practice fitness or yoga. We will adapt our model (multi-purpose or specific) according to our activity.

But today, the field of possibilities is widening and we find new activities to do with our paddle.

The new annex

At anchor, many boards are attached to the transoms of boats. Wide and stable, they are ideal for landing adults and children ashore. Left on the sand, we can then use it for the walk. When sailing, it will be sufficient to slide it on the decks and attach them to the lines to avoid deflating it.

An ultra-stable support

Thanks to its stability, the SUP has become a real floating platform. It will serve as a great playground for children who can easily climb on it and use it to play on the water. But also a table for an aperitif on the water... The field of possibilities is vast, let your imagination take the relais?!

Ease of implementation

Inflatable, the paddle is easy to transport and install. Often delivered in a transport bag with all the necessary accessories, it only takes about fifteen minutes to inflate it, with a hand pump or an electric pump.

Then we install the dagger board - for some models -, we adjust the length of his paddle, we fix his leash and it's parti?! Very often, handles make it easy to carry your board.

Ease of use

Although it is good to adopt the right position to paddle and avoid getting hurt or tired, the paddle is quite easy to use. Standing on your board, you row from one side and/or the other to move forward. You can also turn around or easily change course by positioning your oar.

While it is mainly intended for standing use, you can also paddle sitting or kneeling when you are tired or out of balance. A comfort element not to be overlooked.

Playful

With its long and wide length and width, the paddle offers enough space and buoyancy to climb together. As a family, we can walk our children, sitting or lying in front of our legs. Children can also have fun with friends for walks as close to the coast as possible.

Affordable

The paddle is the most affordable watercraft of the moment. Today, you can find boards with accessories for about 200 euros.
