Why Paddle Boarding is a Perfect Activity for Seniors in Australia
Stand Up Paddle Boarding Provides Balance and Hip Strength Benefits
One of the biggest benefits of stand up paddle boarding is that it helps improve balance and hip strength. This can be especially beneficial for seniors as balance and hip strength are key components in preventing falls and maintaining longevity. Thanks to its low-impact nature, SUP is also much easier on shoulder joints than more rigorous activities like classic Surfing- to save on shoulder stress, just shorten your paddle.
Inflatable Paddle Boards are Light Weight and Easy to Stow and Go
Inflatable boards, sometimes also called Blow Up Paddle Boards, are particularly ideal for seniors since they are light, easy to store if you have downsized. For the ultimate ease, pick up the shoulder carry strap for the trip to the water, and comfortable cushy kayak seat and kayak paddle blade attachment so that you can sit back and relax while paddling with the Kayak Conversion Kit.
It's a Fun Social Activity for All Ages
SUP can also be very social – all those kids and grandkids who might not be too interested in spending time with grandma or grandpa might finally change their tune once they join you on the water! With SUP being accessible by all ages, it creates an opportunity for family bonding time that’s hard to resist. So what are you waiting for? Get out there on your stand up paddle board adventure today!
