4 Water Sports To Swap Your Usual Workout For This Summer 

Given the beaches we’ve got access to in Australia, adding surfing to your summer activities list at least once in your lifetime is almost essential. 

To kick-start your surfing pursuits, discover everything from rashies to quality-made surfboards that will have you carving up the beach in no time!

If surfing seems a little too extreme for your liking, why not opt for a sport that is a little more tame, like kayaking. Still extremely fun (and one that will ensure a quality workout), kayaking is a great way to explore the waters safely whilst working on that summer six-pack. 

Before heading out, ensure you’re covered from those harsh sun ways with a suitable hat, wet-weather gear like swim shorts and of course, don’t forget the SPF! 

The sport known as ‘Stand Up Paddleboarding’ (SUP for short) is a relatively new water sport but one that has gained in popularity in recent years. If fun and adventure gets you going, why not hop on a SUP this summer. Especially aligned with those who don’t necessarily wish to get wet, if you have relatively good balance and hand-eye coordination, SUP’ing will be a breeze!

When heading out on the SUP board, a classic pair of boardshorts will do the trick, in case you find yourself in the water at some point. If you plan on being out on the water for a considerable amount of time, team your boardies with a rashie, which will add to your sun protection.

If you’re lucky enough to own a boat (or know somebody that does), get in on the thrill and fun of wakeboarding. Although it looks easy to master, it might take you the duration of the summer holidays to master the art of zipping across the seas at high speeds.
