Fitness Sup

A: It's a common question, but as you'll come to find out when you give it a try, doing yoga on a paddle board is not as hard as it looks and it even offers opportunities that a land-based practice doesn't. Sup yoga can be a delightful way to experience nature and invigorate your yoga practice.

A: The next factor to consider when finding the best sup boards for yoga is size. Increased width and thickness are crucial qualities to look for in a sup yoga board, as this is what provides you with that essential stability. Ideally, your board should be at least 32 inches wide, 5 inches thick and 10-12 feet long.

A: The board: Traditional paddleboards are longer and narrower than sup boards, typically between 12 to 19 feet long, making them more hydrodynamic. These boards are designed for either prone (lying flat) or kneeling positions and require a high level of balance and core strength.

A: To find the right stand up paddle board for you, consider how you're going to use it, how it will fit your body and how you want it to handle in the water. The key decision points will be the shape of the board, getting the correct volume and capacity, as well as the proper length, width and thickness.

A: Versatility: Paddle boards aren't just for standing. You can kneel, sit cross-legged, lay down, or even stretch out. Paddle north paddle boards are designed with textured, EVA-foam, comfortable traction pads that are great for sitting.
