Get More from Your SUP


So, what else can your standup paddleboard do for you? How about transform into a gym? Yes it can! Your SUP can quickly become more than just another board in your quiver. With many boards becoming stable enough to perform pilates and yoga on, your SUP can become a mobile gym.
Paddling out to your favorite spot and enjoying the serenity and peacefulness can be enough for most to get the perfect day going or to have a quick get away from the stresses and worries of the day. But did you know you can take another step toward centering your energy? There are many exercises you can perform on your SUP to strengthen your core.
With a board like the NRG Fitness (10'5"x30") that was designed by Starboard with the help of team rider Nikki Gregg, you can attach your paddle safely in order to perform exercises while not having to worry about your paddle getting away from you. The NRG Fitness also has multiple tie-down points integrated into the system so that you can even attach elastic training bands for performing resistance training on your SUP.
There are many groups that offer lessons and training for SUP fitness. These are great tools to use for those who are interested, but might be wary of starting on their own. Instructors will help you become familiar with exercises that you can perform on your SUP. If you are interested in joining a class contact the folks over at Paddle Island Adventures at 855-559-0559 or info@islandpaddleadventure.com
Of course there are many boards that can be used for SUP fitness and you should look for the best board that suits your needs. For all of your SUP needs please contact Charleston Watersport at (843)884-9098 or email us at info@charlestonwatersport.com
