Is land paddling safe?

Land paddling is a sport that is growing in popularity. But is it safe? That's the question many people are asking. Well, put your mind at ease as we explain not only why land padding is safe, but it's perhaps the best option for newbies of the skate world.

Why is land paddling safe?

The beauty of land paddling is that balance comes from two places. Similar to skateboarding, you can engage your core to help stabilize you when you're on your board. On top of that, you also use the signature paddle to help with balance and stability.

This makes it a great option for those who are new to skateboarding or are looking for an alternative that is just as fun but a little bit more stable. And because you're not moving at high speeds, the likelihood of wiping out and getting injured is much lower than other skateboarding activities.

Why is land paddling great for your health?

Few sports engage your entire core the way land paddling does. The basis of the sport is modeled closely on surfing, which is an excellent full-body workout. You also get a great cardio workout as you paddle your way across land.

If you're just starting out, you can take it slow and practice anywhere with a firm flat surface. But as you improve, you can rip it with the best in skate parks. Once you discover land paddling, you're gonna have a hobby for life.
