With the sun out and schools closed, families everywhere are on the hunt for fun, affordable ways to stay active and make memories. Enter paddle boarding, the ultimate summer adventure that ticks all the boxes for kids and grown-ups alike. Whether you're heading to a lake, beach, or river, there's never been a better time to give it a go.
1. Quality time without screens
Getting your kids away from devices isn't always easy, unless you're replacing it with something this fun. Paddle boarding gets the whole family outdoors, talking, laughing, and working as a team. No phones, no distractions, just fresh air and freedom.
Screen Time Vs Paddle Boarding
| Screen Time | Paddle Boarding |
|---|---|
| Passive entertainment | Active outdoor fun |
| Limited physical movement | Full-body physical activity |
| Often solo activity | Great for family bonding |
| Can disrupt sleep patterns | Promotes better sleep |
| Higher risk of eye strain | Boosts mood and focus |
| Less engagement with surroundings | Connects you with nature |
2. Easy to learn (even for kids)
You don’t need to be an athlete to get started. Most beginners (yes, even kids!) can find their balance within 10–15 minutes. The learning curve is gentle, and falling in just adds to the fun.
3. Great for fitness! But feels like play
Paddle boarding builds balance, strength, and coordination, but it never feels like a workout. Kids burn off energy while you sneak in a full-body session. Win-win.
4. Affordable, Long-term fun
Once you've got your board, the rest is free. No tickets, no subscriptions, just grab your gear and go. A good inflatable board will last for years, giving you adventures all summer (and beyond) without breaking the bank.
5. You can start right now, with the perfect kids’ board
We designed the Aquaplanet BOLT just for younger paddlers. It’s lightweight, stable, and made for kids up to 60kg. Whether it’s their first solo paddle or a ride-along adventure, the Bolt makes it easy and fun for them to join in.
