The Stand Out Watch for Stand Up Paddle Boarding
The sport of Stand Up Paddle boarding (SUP) is new and exciting…and frankly still unknown. While many have probably seen people participating in SUP at the ocean, lakes or rivers, some may still be confused by the sport. People in Hawaii have been paddle boarding for sport since the 1940s, but SUP didn’t become widely practiced as a sport until the early 2000s.
Staying true to its roots, the sport still does not require much to get started. All you need is a SUP board, a long paddle and potentially a wet suit depending on the water conditions. One item that has proven to be incredibly valuable while competing in this sport is a fitness watch. The Forerunner 920XT has key features that enable you to have an advantage in the sport.
Although we could just tell you about these benefits, we will let Garmin SUP athlete Jenny Kalmbach explain how this watch has impacted her performance:
As Jenny mentioned, the recovery advisor feature on the watch proves crucial to her demanding training. In the sport of SUP it’s important to be diligent in training to grow as an athlete, but just like in any other sport, the recovery period is where the growth occurs. Another useful feature that the 920XT has is distance tracking. Even though athletes may not be swimming, it can still track the distance traveled, which is essential to setting up a training regiment. This watch also has the possibility to pair with a heart rate monitor that can help track beats per minute and compare it to different paddle strokes and the intensity of the workout.
With the sport of stand up paddle boarding on the rise, the need for correct gear becomes increasingly important. Whether you are new to the sport or are a seasoned SUP veteran, the Forerunner 920XT is the perfect addition to your training regimen.
