The Maldives offers a plethora of water sports and activities that will take control of your adrenal glands! But have you ever thought much about the gear that helps you to experience the exhilarating feeling of these water sports – here, you can look at some of the frequently used water sports gear.
At first glance, a stand-up paddleboard will look like a typical surfboard but it's much thicker in a considerable manner. These boards are manufactured with a foam core that's surrounded with a fibreglass and epoxy wrapping. A stand-up paddleboard measures up to 8 to 12 feet in its length and around 28 to 32 inches in its width. The board's thickness ranges from 4 to 5 inches. It is recommended to get a much wider and longer board for complete amateurs at the sport, which would help them to gain stability on the water. Other equipment that comes with the board are a paddle, board bag, Velcro leash, and flotation device.
A wakeboard is the main equipment used in wakeboarding and materials such as honeycomb, foam, or wood mixed with resin are used to fill their cores after which they are covered with fibreglass. You would also find metal screws that are attached to it so that one can attach fins and other bindings. Maybe you're wondering what the ideal size of the wakeboard you should purchase – this is directly proportional to your weight. Also, the width of the board has a say in how it acts on the water; for example if the width is much narrower at the tip and the tail, the wakeboard tends to take aggressive turns which may be better suited for more experienced wakeboarders.
These are designed to suit the purpose of the individual who kayak occasionally on recreational purposes. A casual tourist who is simply interested in being immersed in nature while indulging in fishing or photography might enjoy rides on a recreational kayak. These are ideal for a tour on a lake, or any other body of water well away from the strong waves of the sea. Compared to the others of its kind, these kayaks have a much larger cockpit that facilitates easy entry and exit.
Essentially, one only requires three pieces of equipment for snorkelling – a snorkel, a mask, and a pair of fins! The snorkel and mask, combined, will help you to explore the wonderful marine world (while keeping water away from your eyes and nose) around your resort in the Maldives such as VARU by Atmosphere at your own pace. It would be ideal if you can find one of the Maldives all-inclusive resorts that offer complimentary snorkelling equipment to minimise travel costs.
Now, this is a type of descriptive nickname given to a long inflatable object that is used for the fun activity called Banana boating. It is shaped like a banana and yellow in colour; hence, the nickname.
