I've not come across one to be fair, even though they are everywhere in big herds.
Must look harder.

I watched a young blonde lady in a wet suit climb aboard a paddle board and paddle away whilst moored by the Two Boats, Long Itchington. It was very dangerous and harmful to my health ... I nearly fell in watching her  Woof ! Rog |

That's an interesting point, yes they are only dangerous to themselves but I suppose it must be that if they were to collide with a moving boat, that boater may not be able able live with any serious injuries that may occur.
We see it all the time with comments about cyclists not wearing a helmet.
They cannonly hurt themselves but everyone comments still.

Paddleboarding is a fad. If you can take one out on the ocean and surf waves with it, I get it. Otherwise, once you've learned how not to fall off the thing all you're doing is paddling up and down, repetitively. If the intention is to do it regularly for fitness that makes sense. Otherwise, I foresee lots of people who have bought them doing it a few times then getting bored and never doing it again.
If anyone is after a used paddleboard hang on a year or so, there will be plenty of bargains around.
