Introduction

Paddleboarding, more specifically stand up paddleboarding, is a water sport that has been gaining popularity recently.

In general, paddleboarding involves a person using either their hands or a paddle to propel themselves along the water
while they are on top of some form of board. Some paddleboarding is performed ideally on flat water, while other types
of paddleboarding involve riding waves in a similar manner to surfing. The size, shape, and overall design of
paddleboards varies depending on its intended use. Shorter paddleboards are preferred for riding waves,
while very long paddleboards are better suited for competitive racing on flat water. The ideal size of a paddleboard also
depends on its intended user, with heavier individuals requiring a larger paddleboard.
