Paddle Surfing, the trendy sport on the beach

You may have visited the beach and seen athletes with a paddle on a surfboard. This sport is called Paddle Surfing started more than five years ago on the American island of Hawaii.

The sport originated in WaikikiThe reason for this was that the surf instructors needed to keep an eye on and photograph the surfing students. Standing up, it was much easier to observe the whole group and therefore to keep an eye on them.

Shortly afterwards, in the 21st century, this method started to be used as a recreational sport and not just as a position for instructors. It is used especially when there are hardly any waves and additional propulsion is needed.

The fact that it doesn't need waves is really good, which allows it to be practised not only in oceans and seas, but also in rivers, lakes... Another great advantage is that it is really easy to learn, or at least much easier than surfing itself, which causes a greater interest on the part of less experienced tourists.
The sport is really versatile, both in terms of activities (you can do circuits, routes, crossings, relaxing walks...) and physical condition (you don't need to be very fit to be able to do it). It is also very beautiful, as from this vantage point you can sail while observing the seabed.
