As the name suggests, standing on a board to paddle, the touring paddle board originated in the early years of Hawaiian surfing coaches to teach students to facilitate movement, and recently it has become popular around the world. The touring paddle board is a very simple and easy to learn sport suitable for all ages. It is suitable for young and old because it is very suitable for beginners of all ages to play on gentle water (such as a reservoir). Of course, swimming and wearing life jackets are essential.
There are two required equipment, one is a board and the other is a paddle. The touring paddle board is longer than the general board. It is designed for long-distance and fast paddling. It is suitable for long-distance paddling for several kilometers in large lakes and bays. It is acceptable to novices.
The touring paddle board can be divided into three parts: handle, handle and paddle surface. Generally, the height of the paddle can be adjusted. For beginners, the height is roughly that you can stand the paddle and hold it with your fist, or be 8 to 12 inches taller. Other important accessories include: foot ropes, life jackets, long sleeves for sun protection.
To hold the touring paddle board, you need to hold the handle on the top of the oar with one hand and the middle of the handle with the other hand. The paddle surface is directional, and the inclined side of the paddle surface needs to be forwarded when rowing. To change hands, first hold the top hand of the traveling paddle board and change to the position of the other hand, and then hold the paddle handle with the other hand.
The above is the introduction to the basic knowledge of the touring paddle board, I hope it can help everyone.
