April 22 is Earth Day. A day for celebrating our successes so far in working to protect our planet, and raising awareness of the need to conserve the earth’s natural resources for future generations.

As Earth Day approaches, it serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to protect and preserve our planet. For those who find happiness in the ocean, just like we do at Paddle Logger, Earth Day holds particular significance. We are uniquely positioned to make a positive impact on the health of our oceans and coastlines. From reducing plastic pollution to advocating for marine conservation, there are numerous ways in which ocean lovers can contribute to the sustainability of our blue planet.

If you use Paddle Logger on Apple Watch, you’ll know that you can use it to track your heart rate and check out your heart rate zones after each session. For paddlers looking to improve their performance on the water, understanding and utilising your heart rate graphs and zones can be a game-changer. Whether you're a recreational kayaker, a competitive canoeist, or an avid stand-up paddle boarder, monitoring your heart rate during training sessions can provide valuable insights into your exertion levels, optimise your workouts, and ultimately enhance your paddling progress so that you can take it to the next level.

As paddlers, we share a close connection with the natural world. Moving through the water is what we love to do, but we also have a responsibility to protect the fragile ecosystems that bring us so much joy. Here are a few ways you can harness your passion for the water to support conservation strategies.

Paddling offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, explore scenic waterways and enjoy moments on the ocean. Whether you’re kayaking down rapids, canoeing along tranquil rivers or stand up paddle boarding across coastlines, safety should always be a top priority for paddlers of all skill levels.

Paddle Logger is stoked to announce a new multi-year partnership with the GBSUP National Paddle Racing Series!

Ever wonder about the backstory behind kayaking? Spoiler alert: it's way more than just a fun day out on the water.

Paddle sports such as stand up paddle boarding (SUP), canoeing and kayaking offer so much more than just an adventure on the water. Taking part can improve our mental and physical health too.

You can now share your epic routes and cool photos with other paddlers, inspiring thousands of likeminded individuals, by submiAng your trips within the app and the Paddle Logger team will periodically feature these submissions on social media.
