Brighton Land Paddle bring you Land Paddle For Sport Relief 2014
What is Land Paddling?
Land Paddling is born out of Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) that has seen a massive growth in popularity across the world, and Land Paddling is heading the same way.
The paddling action when Land Paddling almost exactly simulates Stand Up Paddle Surfing.
It is a fantastic cross training tool for SUP enthusiasts giving you a total body workout including core, back, shoulders, arms and legs.
The land paddle allows you to power yourself on any longboard, skateboard, mountain board or pretty much any board you would normally ride on the street.
The combination of the longboards and land paddles give you increased stability making it accessible to a wide range of people, young and old.
If you have never skated before you will be surprised at how easy land paddling is to pick up. If you are a seasoned skater, Land Paddling will give you a completely different skating experience. Once you have tried it you’ll be hooked and grinning from ear to ear. Words : Land Paddle UK
