Paddle Boarding Overtakes Denver
Sure, we know that Denver is famous for our ski and snowboarding backyard. But more than ever a new sport is winning the hearts of Denver Residents. That sport is Paddle Boarding.
It doesn’t take much to understand why. With 300+ days of sunshine and a huge number of local and mountain lakes, streams, and rivers to choose from Paddle Boarding is a sport on the water that offers a great workout and beautiful views. Even though many think of Paddle Boarding as an ocean lifestyle activity, our calm lake waters can make for the perfect water outing.
There’s even a huge group of folks who enjoy SUP (Stand Up Paddle Boarding) Yoga. If you thought your core got a workout doing regular Yoga just try and add balancing on water to the equation.
Add one more reason to the lengthy reason why Denver is an amazing place to live.
