NEWS: 5 REASONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER SUP CRUISING

Similar to biking, which allows for outdoor sports with minimal organization, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in cruise mode is a favored activity by glide enthusiasts in the absence of waves or wind. The reasons for this success are manifold. We've identified 5 that you regularly express to us in your feedback and on social media.

1 – Rapid learning!

A few strokes of the paddle are enough to feel comfortable on a Stand Up Paddle board, regardless of your experience in water sports. Just choose a board suitable for learning and watch a few tutorials to go cruising with friends. The SUP path is the most direct route to discovering a body of water in a magical environment while cruising.

2- Spots near you!

You definitely have one near you, because where there is life, there is water. That's all you need to practice SUP; a river, a pond, or any other body of water. These sites are common in most regions. No need to live near the ocean to get on the water. Just open a map of your region and explore!

3 – Effort is adjustable.

Since the effort is adjustable, you can start with zero physical condition. Those who want to take it easy can do so. Those who want fitness sessions enjoy it. It's like a bike ride on a towpath. You define the pace and distance to travel. For longer walks, you can bring provisions with bungee cords on the deck or with a waterproof backpack.

4 – Ambiance.

Because SUP is accessible to all, it's easy to find someone to make the session more convivial. You can move forward slowly while chatting, making SUP cruising probably the most convivial water sport of all. Normally after a SUP session with friends, you're already up to date with the latest news about them without needing to meet at the café for the after-session! Of course, you can always combine activities 😉

5 – Transitioning seasons smoothly.

For the most chilly and those who have to face particularly harsh winters, SUP is the ideal support to bridge the seasons. In cruising mode, you can get on the water all year round without getting wet. A little dip in the water to cool off may even be necessary for the most sporty ones who increase the pace under their wetsuit 😉 As a result, you start the season in shape and without stopping, gliding on the water!
