How I Discovered Land Paddling
True story about how I discovered land paddling in far away 2010-ish, how I was introduced to Kahuna Creations Big Stick, and became their biggest fan...
Longboarding is all about gliding on the pavement, and looking good while doing it !
But the "extreme" version of longboarding, downhill riding, is exhilarating, difficult, and, I'd even say - dangerous.
That's why, you need to know your limits and stay within 'em.
Last week, while enjoying one of my "casual rides" down a steep bike trail, I forgot about my limits and as a result...
After that, I decided to find something less extreme, but at the same time fun & physically challenging.
The reasons I fell in love with longboarding in the first place were :
- it reminded me of surfing
- it was a great low body, and cardiovascular workout !
If you've never been on a longboard ( or even skateboard ), you probably don't know that longboarding can be a great workout ( without even feeling like a workout ! ).
Besides the cardiovascular benefit, longboarding provides a great workout for your core and lower body ( after pushing your board for 30-45 min, your calves are on fire ! (literally...look at the picture above :)).
Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot of upper body involvement.

Seriously, just like it was promised, it was one the the best, and the most fun workouts I've ever had !
Some people join gyms. Some people go on jogs/runs to get exercise. Others ride their bikes.
Don't be "some people." Be different ! Be fun !
Try land paddling workout !
