Paddle Boarding

We know that there are many versions of paddle boarding; among them, stand-up paddle boarding, or SUP, is the world's fastest-growing one. SUPs can be used for surfing, touring, racing, and much more in rivers and streams. On the other hand, kayaking is another sport similar to paddle boarding but where it differs is that the kayakers use double-bladed paddles and sit on a low seat with their legs spread forward. It is more amusing to the people who love the outdoors and opt for sedate pursuits.

Now, while comparing the benefits health-wise, kayaking works your arms and core in contrast to SUP, which uses your complete body. Paddle boarding works as a workout improving your arms, abdomen, legs, flexibility, and general balance.
