Wow, would you look at this! Dan the man with a working blog, I promise you wont be let down.
Lets talk about one of my favorite activities that not only is great physical activity, but also a great way to experience the outdoors - stand up paddle-boarding. Paddle boarding is a board sport that originated with surfers using paddles. The similarities between a paddle board and surfboard are its length, width and tail fins. Of course every board, stand up or surf, can be customized to fit the rider but over all they are both similar boards.
The difference comes in how the boarder propel themselves through the water. A surfer will lay on their stomach and paddle with their arms; whereas, a stand up paddle boarder uses a paddle to create movement.

It is the movements of stand up that creates a vigorous cardio workout, and an unreal back, biceps and abdominal burn. This sport gets you closer to wildlife and a healthy lifestyle, so try a stand up paddle-board today!
