Summer is here, and it’s a great time to play touring paddle board again. It’s so fun to ride the cool wind and travel the wonderful rivers and mountains of the motherland. Hase yeeshee, please note that if it is the first time for you to play the touring paddle board, it is best to choose a calm water surface with no boats and floating objects around. If it is an inflatable board, please apply enough air pressure, fasten the foot rope, and wear a life jacket.
