But paddle boarding with kids can be slightly tricky, especially if they\u2019re much younger. There\u2019s the obvious issue of safety<\/a>, how old is old enough, and how to make sure they have fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To help you and your family have the best time out on the water, I\u2019ll answer all these questions and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So keep reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stand up paddle boarding doesn\u2019t really have an age limit (although common sense should prevail).
