Sableboarding expert, Baikal, set to hone skills and receive an invitation to compete in river races.
In Chita, Zabaykalsky Krai, a new initiative called the "Stand-up Paddleboarding is Easy" project is making waves. This project, spearheaded by the "Together on the Water" club, aims to promote stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) as an accessible and enjoyable sport for both children and adults in the region.
The project has been successful in winning a grant competition in Zabaykalsky Krai, which has enabled its implementation. The "Stand-up Paddleboarding is Easy" project offers a variety of activities, including introductory lessons, masterclasses with participants of the Russian championships in the "Paddleboard with Paddle" discipline, and practical training sessions.
For beginners, these sessions focus on safety rules, basic paddling techniques, and balancing skills. For those who are already comfortable on the board, there will be river trips in Zabaykalsky Krai to explore local water bodies. The project also includes a theoretical part on water safety rules to ensure participants are well-equipped to handle any situations that may arise.
The "Stand-up Paddleboarding is Easy" project does not specify an age limit for participants, making it an inclusive initiative for all ages. It is reported on the government of Zabaykaysky Krai's website and plans for the project include sending a regional team to the "Baikal Wind" festival.
The project aims to teach children and adults safe water behavior, promote a safe and active leisure activity, and encourage people to enjoy outdoor water sports and appreciate local nature. Ekaterina Kochneva is associated with the "Together on the Water" club in Chita, and the project is intended for both children and adults in Zabaykalsky Krai.
While the project does not provide information on the cost or funding of the river trips or festival participation, it seeks to promote stand-up paddleboarding as an affordable active leisure option. The "Stand-up Paddleboarding is Easy" project is a great opportunity for those in Chita and Zabaykalsky Krai to try out this exciting sport and develop a healthy lifestyle through water activities.
Stand-up paddleboarding, being an accessible and enjoyable sport, is at the heart of the "Stand-up Paddleboarding is Easy" project in Chita. Participants, both children and adults, can look forward to an array of activities including lessons, masterclasses, river trips, and theoretical sessions on water safety rules.
