The principle and usage of inflatable paddles?

The principle of an inflatable paddle and how should we use it? The principle of an inflatable paddle is that there are some corrugated structures on the front of the humpback whale's wings to help this behemoth move more elegantly and smoothly in the water. This structure helps reduce drag and helps the humpback whale "catch" the water flow.

The principle and usage of inflatable paddle boards?

 

 

The principle of an inflatable paddle board lies in the wave-like structures resembling humpback whale fins on the front of the hull. This helps the massive creature move more gracefully and steadily in the water. This structure helps reduce drag and helps the humpback whale "catch" the current, ensuring it can move flexibly even with its large size. Inspired by this, inflatable paddle boards were created.

Inflatable paddle board surfing relies on ocean waves and is done on beaches with wind and waves. The wave height should be about 1 meter, and smaller waves should not be less than 30 centimeters. The Hawaiian Islands have suitable waves for surfing year-round. Especially in winter or spring, swells from the North Pacific can reach 4 meters, and athletes can glide over 800 meters. Therefore, the Hawaiian Islands have always been the world's surfing center. Athletes stand on inflatable paddle boards or use nets, kneeling boards, inflatable rubber pads, rowboats, kayaks, etc., to control the waves. Regardless of the equipment used, athletes must have superb skills and balance and be proficient in long-distance swimming in windy and wavy conditions.

 

How to use an inflatable paddle board? Regardless of the equipment used, athletes should have superb skills and balance and be proficient in long-distance swimming in windy and wavy conditions. Athletes first lie down or kneel on the inflatable paddle board and paddle to a place with suitable waves as a starting point. When the wave pushes the inflatable paddle board to glide, the athlete keeps the inflatable paddle board in front of the wave crest and stands up. The legs are naturally separated front and back (usually the balance leg is in front, the control leg is in the back), the knees are slightly bent, and they follow the waves and glide quickly.

 

Swimming: Keep your head up, chest out, eyes forward, and hands along both sides of the inflatable paddle board, paddling from front to back, paying attention to keeping your fingers together. Depending on your weight and the size of the inflatable paddle board, you need to adjust your position on the inflatable paddle board so that your toes are close to the edge of the board. Paddle backward along both sides of the board, adjusting the rhythm of your breathing. Do not spread your arms when paddling; this will greatly reduce paddling efficiency. Swimming is a more basic skill, and you should focus most of your practice on it. How well you paddle will determine whether you can catch the wave. When the wave comes, you have successfully paddled. When you feel your inflatable paddle board moving forward and feel the speed increasing, we start to stand up. Use your palms to find your ribs and place them flat on both sides of your ribs to support your body. When the speed is fast enough, you can 'take off'.

 

If you don't like surfing, you can find calm water and glide slowly on the water with a paddle board. You can also enjoy different outdoor sports experiences.
