Stand up paddleboarding is a great summer activity originally from Hawaii. If you are spending your holiday near a lake, sea, or ocean, you must try paddleboarding. It gives you a unique vantage point for viewing what’s down under the water and out on the horizon. These are the gears you will be needing.
Stand Up Paddleboard
Before you buy your board, you should first test if you like it. So for the first couple of times, rent gear or borrow from a friend. Then, if you think it’s an activity for you and want to do more, buy your own.
Paddle
The paddle for stand up paddleboarding is similar to a canoe paddle, only it’s stretched out and has a tear-drop-shaped blade that angles forward for maximum paddling efficiency.
Life Jacket
If you are brave enough and you want to explore the ocean outside the surf or swimming area, you must have a life jacket.
Safety Whistle and Light
Another thing you must carry with you. You can’t get on the water without a safety whistle. And if you expect to be on the water after sunset, be sure to bring a light with you.
Leash
It’s used to keep your board close by if you fall off.
