Posted on Jan 24, 2019 by Beckworth & Co.

Have you ever tried kayaking or SUP (stand up paddle) boarding? They are fun outdoor water activities that you, your partner, family or friends can try! It’s fairly easy to get on and paddle your kayak or board, depending on the kind of item you bought. When you go paddling, you will not only move your body but also your mind and soul because of the serene waters surrounding you. You will feel thrilled and calm at the same time.

The appeal of kayaks and SUP boards get to you because you can either sit or stand and still have a good time. It’s a perfect solo, duo, or group outdoor cardio exercise that targets both your upper and lower body. You can also go fishing with both of them. A huge one is you get to explore rivers, lakes, seas, coves and nearby islands, on your own effort. The exhilarating but peaceful moments of paddling will leave you with sore but stronger muscles, a fulfilled heart, thirst for more adventures, and a new perspective in life.
