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.
