When life gets too much and you just need a break. When life gets too much and you just need a break. Here are 5 ways paddleboarding can help de-stress your body and mind.​ ​ 1. Take a friend​ Be they furry or human. Taking a relaxing trip with a friend takes your mind off the day to day.​ 2. Yoga​ Stress builds up in the body and stretching that body helps release and relax all the pent up frustration.​ 3. Meditation​ A quite space is a quiet mind. Whether you use the time to forget your problems or solve them. Out on the water will give you the time and the focus to meditate.​ 4. Exercise​ A healty body is a healthy mind. Paddleboarding is low stress exercise that uses our whole body in slow deliberate movements.​ 5. Morning and Evening Paddles​ Morning and evening are some of the quietest times with beautiful skies. Taking time here will either allow you to prepare in the mornings or relax after a long day.

Transparency notice

McConks is based in the Cotswold Water Park, and is a family owned UK company, registration #09813033

We are a UK registered company, registered as Perfect Trim Limited (find out why here), and pay corporation tax in the UK. Details of our company registration at UK Companies House can be found here.

We are also VAT registered and pay 20% VAT on all sales we make within the UK and Europe. Our VAT registration number is 270 4921 10.

We do not pay influencers or ambassadors. Anyone who recommends us is doing so because they believe in us, not because they’ve been given free stuff. You won’t find us in many magazine reviews because most magazines and online reviews demand that we give them a free board, or that we take up advertising or become a brand supporter with them before the review. We think that undermines the independence of the reviews.
