10 Reasons to Discover Paddling

Updated: Sep 30, 2021

1. COVID-19 SAFE

Being outside in the fresh air, with no need to get within six feet of anyone else, it's an easy way to be social with social distancing. All equipment is cleaned down and each person who attends completes covid-19 checks before booking. This is checked again on arrival.


2. IT'S FUN

Everyone is talking about it, so why not give it a go?

It's an accessible holiday activity on your own doorstep! It's something a little different to do with your friends, family or on your own. No previous experience is required.


3. MOOD BOOSTING

It has been scientifically proven that you can boost your mood just by being outside and you’ll find an improvement in your physical and mental well-being. Paddling on water is a form of ‘moving-meditation’. Embracing the calming nature of the water and looking out on the world from a different perspective are all components of a typical paddle, which all play there part in boosting your mood and getting your endorphins flowing.


4. COMMUNITY

There aren’t too many sports that provide the opportunity to meet other people (or paddle in solitude if you prefer…). Kayaking and paddle boarding are unique because it incorporates nature’s beautiful surroundings, great physical benefits, and it prevents the distraction of phones or tablet's in hand!


5. REDUCE STRESS

Taking your mind away for the 101 tasks and challenges you might have in you life will significantly reduce your stress levels. You can escape the normal and embracing the beauty of floating on calm safe water and enjoy being one with nature.


6. LOW IMPACT EXERCISE

Paddling is a low impact full body exercise, incorporating all large muscle groups. No matter what your fitness goals are, you’re going to get great exercise and tone your body while having fun.


7. GREAT SOURCE OF VITAMIN D

Time spent outdoors comes with a major bonus: vitamin D intake. The “sunshine vitamin” can many of us take in over 80% of it from those golden rays.


8. ACCESSIBLE TO ALL
