Benefits of practise paddle surfing

Paddle surf has plenty of benefits, both for your body and mind. This sport is suitable for anyone and does not require any prior training or expertise, it will help you develop your sense of balance by working the abdominals, the primary muscles that are involved in balance and will improve your posture, due to the focus on balance and remaining upright on the board. This will benefit you in your everyday life and make you more aware of your posture.

Aside from improving your posture, the tiny micro-adjustments that you will have to make to stay balanced on the board will sharpen your reflexes, ensuring you are more aware and develop a better sense of proprioception (the awareness of where your body is in space). And though it is normal to fall off the board now and again, especially as you are learning, it may be refreshing to have a dip and cool off, before you get back on your board and start again.
