Keeping in shape for your favorite winter sport doesn’t have to be hard, paddle boarding is a way to use the same muscles used for skiing and snowboarding. Kelly Huffman’s article on Stand Up Paddle Boarding on REI gives tips and tricks to mastering this summertime adventure.

“Since you’re standing at your full height, you’ll enjoy excellent views of everything from sea creatures to what’s on the horizon. It’s almost like walking on water!” Huffman writes.

Paddle boarding gear can be found at REI, or other outdoor gear stores like JAX. Be sure to read up on the basics if you are going out for your first time.

Stand Up Paddle Boards • Apr 16, 2017 at 12:31 am

Great idea for training in summertime. Paddling can strengthen arm and back muscles (just make sure to balance the use of each arm so one side doesn’t get more used than the other). A person’s balance can also be fine tuned after hours spent on the stand up paddle board.
