1.\u00a0Origins<\/h2>\n

Stand up paddle surfing<\/b> is an old form of sliding in which the navigator uses a paddle<\/b> to move along the water while remaining standing on a surf board<\/b>. Its most recent history dates back to the 1960s when surfing instructors on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii used their rudimentary canoe paddles to take photos of their pupils. It also enabled them to have better visibility of their group and easily announce the arrival of waves. And so a new form of entertainment was born that has lasted to the present day under the name of stand up paddle surfing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Muscle toning<\/h2>\n

Keeping your balance and managing to move while standing on a surf board with the help of a paddle makes you move a large number of body muscles. Glutes and abdominals<\/b> are the most involved, so now you know that if you want to get in shape make sure you head to Marbella<\/b> to do this sport; a safe bet for sculpting your figure for those summer days that are fast approaching.<\/p>\n

The effort of staying on top of the board and the effect of paddling is what makes us sweat and, therefore, lose that extra weight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Characteristics<\/h2>\n

Two characteristics are very important in this sport. First of all, it is practiced on a board<\/b> that is constantly moving, since it sits on water affected by swells, currents and the wind, in other words, an unstable surface. Second, the board requires paddle propulsion with repetitive movements that generate force applied on the water, therefore, it is necessary to keep your balance when on an unstable surface with the added force applied to the water.<\/p>\n
