paddleboarding

Standing water gliding

Paddleboarding is a water sport where you stand, kneel, or lie on a large board and propel yourself with a paddle or your arms.

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) has become the dominant form, popular for recreation, fitness, and yoga on calm water: We went paddleboarding on the lake this morning.
