We all know how important core training is as part of an overall fitness routine. And for those of us fortunate enough to live by the water, Stand-up Paddleboarding is a great way to get out and get in shape.

Brody Welte, a personal trainer from St. Petersberg, Florida combines his love of the outdoors and watersports with his “Paddle Fit” classes, “a group exercise class that stresses balance, core strength, posture, cardiovascular conditioning and hip and shoulder integrity.”

And of course, when it comes to Stand-up Paddleboarding, our own Laird Hamilton is in there somewhere:

But regardless of its origins, one man, Laird Hamilton, is responsible for introducing stand-up paddleboards to the masses. A 6-foot-3, 215-pound Hawaiian big wave surfer, Hamilton has been featured on television commercials and magazine covers.

So if you are looking for a new way to enjoy the lake, the ocean or the big bay outside your door, Stand-up Paddleboarding just might be it, and of course, if you’d like to take your music with you, our Amphibx Waterproof Armbands and Surge Waterproof Headphones are a great way to go.
