Aloha Sea Sports Centre

At first glance, stand-up paddle boarding may seem effortless but once you get on a board, you’ll realise that it is anything but a breeze. A sport that requires one to engage multiple muscle groups, including the arms, shoulders, back, core and legs, participants of this sport can expect a solid full body workout. Apart from offering an effective workout – according to research, an hour of paddleboarding can burn up to 500 calories – paddleboarding also improves balance, strengthens muscles and promotes overall wellbeing. Take a stand-up paddling course at sea sports clubs such as Aloha Sea Sports Centre, which offers a one-hour programme designed to teach participants how to launch, how to turn and how to return to shore safely.
