Question

The Growing Sport of Stand-Up Paddling Stand-up paddle boarding is growing more and more popular these days. It is becoming theeasy, and fun way to go and play while on the water. With nothing but minimum equipment, youcan go and paddle anywhere from on a lake, a river, or the ocean. And because you are standingup, you get to see the entire view of what is around you, as well as everything on the horizon.It is also a full-body exercise routine and is becoming more popular as a cross-training activityused by snowboarders, skiers, and other athletes. You really do not need a whole lot of gear. Your biggest investment will be the board itself.Each board is sized differently and is based on the weight and experience of the paddler.Beginners usually start with a flatter, wider board that offers more stability. The moreexperienced paddler usually goes for the narrower, lighter board. Next would be your paddles,which are made with an angle in the shaft to achieve maximum efficiency. Your paddle shouldbe approximately 6 to 8 inches above your height. Besides sunglasses and sunscreen, you canwear anything as long as it is clothing that will move well when you are wet. Also remember thatthe Coast Guard ____ paddleboards as vessels, so you are required to wear a flotation devicewhen you are paddling on navigable waters. Choose ideal conditions to start out on when first learning the sport. Calm, flat water withno buoys and boats is a good idea. It is far easier to start by kneeling on the board than tryingto stand upright on it. To help with balance while standing, keep your knees slightly bent, andyour feet as parallel as possible, approximately hip-width apart, and centered as much aspossible between the rails. Use your hips to balance; keep your shoulders and head upright andsteady, and try to look level with the horizon, resisting the temptation to look down at your feet.Once you get your forward momentum going, your stability will increase also. This may take alittle while to be able to do consistently, but when you build up your leg muscles, your core, andyour fitness level, you will have an absolute blast doing stand-up paddle boarding.(Available in: http://isupworld.com/growing-sport-of-stand-up-paddling/ – text adapted specially for this test).
