Believe!

Stand-up paddle boarding is a new
water sport that has taken the
interest of a lot of people. It is a really
fun activity and perfect exercise. 
There are a lot of discussions about
safety, gear, and learning how to use
a stand-up paddle board. However,
you should not believe everything
you hear because there is a lot of
false information circulating about
the sport.
Here are 6 of the most common
paddle boarding myths you thought
were true:
1. Stand Up Paddle Boarding Is
Hard To Learn
The first question every beginner
has when starting to learn paddle
boarding is always, “Is paddle
boarding easy to learn?” Well,
learning a new sport usually takes a
lot of time. 
There are certain moves or
conditions to learn in order to be
good at it. That can also be applied to
stand-up paddle boarding. 
If you decide to do stand-up paddle
boarding, you have to learn all the
moves and conditions.
When learning, it is best to start
small and work your way to being an
expert. You must know the best
conditions to learn the sport.
 Just a touch of calm water, light
wind, and a stable paddle is all you
need to have your first ever
experience paddle boarding. 
Learn to pick your weather
conditions and you will find yourself
having the time of your life while
learning.
2. It Takes Super Strength For
Paddle Boarding
When you search for photos of
paddle boarding on the internet, you
will see all these people who have
healthy and fit bodies with bulging
muscles. 
This may lead you to believe that if
you don’t have enough muscle and
body strength, you will not have a
chance to learn paddle boarding.
That belief is false. Stand-up paddle
boarding does not require anyone to
have a superhuman body to learn the
sport. It doesn’t matter what body
type you have, the most important
thing about the sport is the
technique.
It is always about the practice and
ability, just be consistent in
paddling, and you will get stronger
and better at stand-up paddle
boarding.
3. The Ocean Is The Only Place
You Can Paddle On
If this myth were true, less than half
of America’s states would have a
place for stand-up paddle boards.
But since it isn’t true, you can paddle
anywhere you have knee-deep
water.
Although the experience won’t be
the same in the ocean because the
waves are much bigger there, it will
still be a good place to practice and
have fun with your friends. You can
simply go to your local lakes, set
down your paddle board, and
practice!
4. People Who Are Too Old,
Young, Or Overweight Cannot Do
Stand-Up Paddle Boarding
The only way to debunk this myth is
to say that as long as you are able-
bodied and can handle the water,
you are good to go. 
To clarify, here are the reasons this
myth is false:
Old People – age is never an issue
in paddle boarding.
If the body does not have any
restrictions and the person
genuinely enjoys the water, they can
participate.
Young People – like any other
sport, it is never too early to start. 
Kids as young as 5 years old may
have a harder time to learn it
because of the size of the board. 
But once they are big enough for
their own paddle board, they can
easily join the others. 
Just keep a close watch and make
sure they are closer to the shore, and
they are good to go
Overweight People – paddle
boards can handle riders
weighing up to 300lbs. 
Some people actually use this sport
to have a healthier lifestyle and lose
weight
5. Paddle Boarding Is Dangerous
Is paddle boarding dangerous? You
must have heard that question a
million times. 
People who don’t know anything
about the sport are the first ones to
dismiss the fact that paddle
boarding is a fun sport and is safer
than most.
Like any other sport, there are a lot
of safety measures in order to avoid
accidents, you must pick the best
condition before paddling, and
many more.
However, stand-up paddle boarding
is actually safer than most because it
takes place at low speeds and in light
winds.
The only thing you have to keep in
mind while paddling is the basic
safety rules you should apply to all
water activities, such as always
wearing a life jacket, having a
partner with you, checking the
weather conditions, and avoiding
paddling after dark.
6. Paddle Boarding Is Expensive
Stand-up paddle boarding is not
expensive. If you do not intend to
paddle regularly, renting a paddle
board is the best option.

paddle board and boat rental service

the best rental services at a very
