Kana izvozvo zvichiita, zvakanaka, amakwikwi enyika, zviri. Vanhu vanobva kutenderera pasirese (vanhu zana nemakumi maviri vanobva kunyika gumi neshanu dzakasiyana) vanodzidzira kuti vawane nzvimbo pachikuva mune zvevarume, zvevakadzi, uye zvakasanganiswa kupisa-kana, havadaro. Zvinoitika kuti kudzidziswa hakusi kunyanyodiwa: Chimwe chikwata chakasaina mangwanani iwayo apo mhute yakakanganisa hurongwa hwavo hwekukwira dombo uye chimwe chakatanga kudzidzira mavhiki mashoma makwikwi asati aitwa.

"Handifarire kuti 'makwikwi,' ndinofarira kuti 'chiitiko,' nekuti kufambisa chikepe hakusi kungoona zvinoitwa nemakwikwi - ndezvekuvaka nharaunda," anodaro Martin Letourneur, nyanzvi yekushambadzira uye mutambi weNike Swim.

Letourneur anoti kazhinji kune mhando nhatu dzevatambi paSUP- ahem-chiitiko: Zvakanakira, vanokwikwidza kuwana mubairo mari; vasingazivi, vanodzidzisa asiwo vane mabasa enguva yakazara kunze kweSUP; uye ivo vanotanga, avo vanotora zvidzidzo panguva yechiitiko uye vanokwikwidza mumijaho midiki kuti vanzwe kunzwa kwemutambo munzvimbo yakadzvinyirirwa yakadzika. "Chiitiko chese chinoedza kukwezva vanotanga neimwe nzira nekuti vanotanga vakakosha kune hurefu hwemutambo."

Iri kushanda: Vanhu vazhinji vari kutora chikamu mumutambo wepaddle kupfuura kare. Vanenge vanhu mazana mashanu nemakumi matatu nemakumi mashanu nepfumbamwe pakati pemakore gumi nemasere nemakumi maviri nemana ekuzvarwa vakati SUP'd muna2017, sekureva kweiyo Outdoor Industry AssociationMushumo wekunze weKubatanidzwa, uye mamwe mamirioni matatu maAmerican vakapinda mumutambo wepaddle (unosanganisira mitambo yakaita sekayaking uye canoeing) muna2014 kupfuura zvavakaita muna2010, sekureva kweOutdoor Industry Association'sChirevo chakakosha paPaddlesports.

Noriko Okaya, muturikiri ane makore makumi mana nemana uye mudhara amateur anogara muNew York City, anonzwisisa kuti sei. "Paddling zviitiko zvinotsigira zvakanyanya uye zvakaderera-kiyi," anodaro. "Pamwe imhaka yekuti mutambo uchiri mudiki, asi unogona kudzidza sezvaunoenda uye haufanire kugadzirira zvakanyanya." (Zvakare, zviitiko zvakawanda zvinopa zvidzidzo pakarepo!) "Hazvina kufanana netriathlon kana imwe rudzi rwaungafungidzira." Akasaina chiitiko chake chekutanga aine vashoma shamwari makore mana apfuura uye haana kumbocheuka kubva ipapo.

Uye kunyangwe vamwe vafambi vaive mairi kuti vakunde, vazhinji vaivepo kuti vapfeke pamwe neshamwari dzavo (funga: tutus uye zvenguva pfupi matati), kufara kune mamwe zvikwata, uye kunwa zvishoma zvakanyanyisa pane pre-pati.

Hunhu hwechikwata chechiitiko ichi chakanyanya kusarudzika (iyo Dhodhi Bhodhi rakareba mamita makumi maviri nemaviri uye inobata timu yevanhu vana), asi iwe unowana inotsigirana vibes mune zvimwe zviitiko zvekupakata futi. “Kunyange vakwikwidzi vako vanokufadza panguva yemujaho,” anodaro Noriko.
