Let’s have a casual chat about this magical thing. The abbreviation of paddle board is called sup. Its full name is Stand-Up Paddling. It is a stand-up skateboard, or paddle board for short. As the name suggests, it is paddled while standing with your feet. Many people know how to do it. Mistakenly thinking it is a surfboard, some people call it a kayak, and some even call it a rubber boat. In fact, in terms of origin, there is a popular saying that both she and skateboarders call surfboards their ancestors. , Legend has it that a long time ago in a surfing resort in Hawaii, there was an average player. He couldn't catch the wave among many good surfers. One day, he suddenly thought, why don't I use a paddle to skate, so that it would be easy? Get in front of others, so paddleboarding was born. This is why pure surfers don’t like paddleboarders. We now want to really trace the roots. It is very difficult, including the current Olympic Committee, which has not yet finalized whether paddleboarding is a surfing event or a paddle event, so there is no paddleboarding event in the Olympics.

But we determined that the early paddle boards were made of the same material as surfboards and were rigid, so for a long time, they were only developed among a small number of players, until one day someone had a sudden idea to use a new material in On the paddle board, it is brushed material. What is brushed material? The principle of the mats that gymnasts step on is like bicycle spokes, which can make the wheels light and hard. Paddleboards made of this material can be folded into quilts when not inflated, but when full of air, they can be folded like a quilt. The hardness can be equal to that of a hard board, so its portability and cheap price have allowed paddle boards to develop rapidly in mass leisure sports. The threshold for using paddle boards is particularly low, but its ductility is very high. It can be used for both leisure and leisure activities. For fun, it can also be used for water adventure travel.
