Hi, it'd be nice to see Padel as a new activity type 🙂

It's pretty popular in the world and would match racquet sports that has been added recently (thank you for that!):

According to the FIP (International Padel Federation), over 25 million people play padel in over 90 countries around the world.

Thanks

Padel is a racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. Padel has become increasingly popular in the Netherlands and Belgium in recent years. According to various sources, there are the following numbers of padel players in both countries:
In the Netherlands there are about 80,000 padel players at associations and in addition about 200,000 people who occasionally play. These are both the people who play competition and the more casual padel players who occasionally reserve a court.
In Belgium there are about 90,000 active padel players (competition).

So, adding these figures together, we can estimate that there are about 370,000 people playing padel in the Netherlands and Belgium combined.

That's quite a lot, don't you think?

It would be great to be able to track padel so you can see your complete month activity. Now it is misleading when the padel matches are missing.

With the popularity Padel has around the world it should for sure be added. Actually I was surprised to see it wasn't already there..

Our local tennis club has gone from 85 to 240 members, after we added Padal. Please add Padel to Strava, it's about high time.

Please add Padel - it’s the fastest growing sport here in South Africa (and in other parts of the world). It makes no sense to have Pickleball and not Padel!

Thanks

Still no padel on Strava? Pickleball which is less popular is there, but still no padel...

Guys it’s time to add Padel !! Stop the US centric view, padel is big in Europe, Latam obviously. If you track pickle ball, then you have to track padel. It’s also part of Garmin tracked sports on the recent watches.

Come on guys. How hard could it be 🙂
Copy paste from another activity and edit the title to Padel.
