The versatility and convenience of paddleboarding have made this a popular activity all over the world. Due to its relative simplicity, it is suitable for beginners and can be enjoyed by people of all ages from young kids to the elderly.

The board has a wide and thick surface, giving it greater buoyancy and making it easier for people to balance on. The paddles add to the fun as they mean you can navigate the board along various waterways regardless of the wind, tide or current.
