On the morning of September 8th, Zhang Jianmin, the captain of the Wuhan Yangtze River Rescue Volunteer Team, told Jizhu Journalist that this summer, there were more people on the riverside paddle board than in previous years. The main reason is that the water level in the Yangtze River is low, so that Shunba in the river to become a net red punch point. From the shore to Shunba, the paddle board has become the easiest way to reach.

"Although the Yangtze River has not risen much this year, the current flows are relatively stable, but they will still encounter a lot of dangerous for help during the paddle board."

At 9:17 that night, Zhang Jianmin was preparing for diligence in the office of the river, and suddenly received a call for help: When the two women rowed the paddle board in the river, the paddle board leaked and was drifting downstream from a bridge.

At that time, there were three female team members on duty, and Zhang Jianmin scheduled the three to bring two paddle boards to block the two women.

After the position of the phone was determined several times during the period, the three of them blocked the two at a dock at the upstream of the bars, and then dragged the two with the paddle board with the missing air to the shore.

"Two women, forty or fifty years old, did not wear life -saving clothes." After ashore, Zhang Jianmin asked and learned that one of them would not swim. After the two scratched the paddle board to Jiangxin Shunba, they found that the board was omitted when they went back.

The paddle board has become a net red sports paddle board originated from Hawaii, USA, developing from surfing.

Public information shows that around 2010, paddle boards began to be introduced to my country and became popular in coastal areas.

"In recent years, people's health awareness has increased, and the threshold for playing paddle boards has also been relatively low, so it has begun to be popular in inland cities." Sheng Guodong, coach of the Water Sports Management Center of the State General Administration In the past few years, paddle boards have become very fast, and their impacts have become increasing.

It is understood that in October 2017, Wuhan established the first paddle club. In 2018, the Hubei Passage Board Alliance was established. As of now, Hubei has developed more than 20 paddle board clubs, and Hubei has also held many paddle -on -board championships.

According to the "Top Ten Life Trends of 2022" released by Xiaohongshu, paddle boards, camping, and flying disks are the trend of "mountain life".

Douyin search for paddle board topics, the number of playback has reached 280 million times.

"I originally played the kayak, but later felt that the paddle board was more convenient, so I added the ranks of the paddle board." Sheng Guodong introduced that the board of the paddle board is divided into inflatable boards and hard boards. Hard boards are generally made of carbon fiber. They are filled with bubbles inside. The price is high and the speed is fast. It is used by high -level players. The inflatable board can be folded, easy to carry, and beginners and enthusiasts are applicable.

At present, from the production of the board, there is no uniform quality standard in the country. "Therefore, the inflatable boards of some brands will leak and damage."

Passage board safety first

"If you want to join the ranks of paddle boards, the first priority is to ensure safety." Shi Zhengxiang, president of the Hubei Patriotic League, said in an interview with Jiomu Journalists that as early as 2018, the alliance proposed eight security strokes. How to ensure that the security of the bank has proposed a standard specification, it has been spread on the Internet, and multiple -phase safety training is conducted every year.

However, as more and more enthusiasts have played paddle boards in open waters in recent years, safety issues have become increasingly prominent.

Shi Zhengxiang suggested that in order to ensure safety, there are multiple points before launching. For example, wearing a life jacket, tie foot rope, and at least swim. When traveling, you must accompany accompanied, so that after the water falls, when you can't climb the board, some teammates will help, or help call for help at danger.

"There are also bad weather. Don't go into the water." Shi Zhengxiang said that the weather, the wind above the three levels, and the heavy rainy weather should not be planned. Especially during wind, it is difficult to resist the wind on the board; in addition, once the wind may blow people and the board to an unsafe area, and even collide with the ship, it is very dangerous.

Shi Zhengxiang reminded that the paddle board should try to choose calm water as much as possible, such as the lake, because the lake water is low, especially for novices, once a safety problem is encountered in the lake, it will better solve it better than the Yangtze River, Hanjiang and other places to better solve the place. Essence

For experienced enthusiasts, it is not impossible to challenge the Yangtze River and Hanjiang River, but it must not be traded in the channel and cannot affect the ship's sailing. "This is to remind repeatedly."

Shi Zhengxiang said that every weekend, the alliance will conduct free public welfare training to explain some security knowledge and skills of paddle boards. It is recommended that enthusiasts listen to it. To ensure the safety of rowing, this sport can flourish.
