The sun is showing itself more and more and it’s starting to itch to go on the water again. Water has a great attraction, grew up with parents who used to have a speedboat, so that at the age of 11 I kept nagging my father if I could finally go water skiing. My mother was not amused when she found out that my father had changed tack and thought I was much too young. I think it’s kind of in our blood. My little brother gives surfing lessons and thanks to him I also got to taste surfing and supping a bit. Very nice to do, followed surf lessons with my son and we went supping a couple of times. Standing on a sub board is the easiest to get started with and perhaps the most accessible, 5 reasons why you should go supping.

5 benefits of suppen

Good for your mental health

Exercise is known to improve your mental health. Exercising in the open air has the additional advantage that you replenish your vitamin D, which in turn has a positive effect on a good mindset. You do paddle boarding in the great outdoors, think of the sea, rivers, lakes and canals. It is a balance sport that relaxes you mentally, a workout in a beautiful environment. The environment of water, the sound when you are surrounded by water, gives peace and allows your body to relax.

Low impact on your joints

With running, for example, you put an enormous load on your knees. SUP is actually a kind of fitness exercise that does not put any strain on your joints.

Complete workout

Did you know that you use more than 95% of your muscles while supping? So keep in mind that the day after standing on a SUP board you can feel muscle pain everywhere. With your arms you move yourself through the water with the help of paddles, with your legs you steer and with your core you keep your balance. Advanced suppers even do an extra workout or yoga on a sup board.

Alone or in a group

Sometimes you might just want to go out on the water alone to clear your head. Other times you can enjoy a fun outing with friends and family.

Supping is possible all year round

You probably first think of paddle boarding when the sun is shining and it is warm outside. But with the right sup clothing you can sup all year round, think of wetsuits and water shoes. In this way you ensure that your body temperature remains on target.

What is just as good to know before you look at a SUP board is that there are different SUP boards. For novice suppers up to suppers who want to race. You might like the fact that you can combine surfing and supping, there is also a special sup for that.
