🎾 Add activity type: Padel

[dwozn]

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

I've also cancelled. Will use Garmin Connect instead.

And Strava is expensive. Let's use Connect from Garmin! It works!

as padel has top players from Spain, Argentina, Brazil and little else, Strava pretends that this sport does not exist... if it were dominated by the United States or a Nordic country... it would have already been included...

I see that Horse Riding is in the "Under Consideration" phase of review whereas Padel remains in the "Gathering Kudos" phase despite having much more Kudos and comments than Horse Riding. Not sure why Strava are going so slowly here given the volume of other racket sports already supported. It cannot be a big technical lift to support Padel. Padel continues to grow massively in the UK ... come on Strava... Garmin support Padel ... we just need Strava to do the same.

Hurry up.

It is kind of a joke they haven't managed to add an option for Padel yet. It is a very popular sport that is just like any of the other racket sport options.

I guess Strava wants me to cancel my subscription and keep logging my workouts on another app.

What’s the status? Why is Padel not being added?

[Cloe]

Padel becomes very popular in many country. It will be very appreciated to find that activity on strava. 

[RichRev]

Come on Strava sort this out. Padel is the fastest growing sport in the world.

Additionally, a status of not currently planned does not mean this feature suggestion goes away. It will remain open to votes and comments, and may be revisited at some point in the future.

Lastly, we sincerely hope you will continue recording and uploading your activities to Strava. Here is a list of the Sport types that we currently support. It’s always an option to set your activity to sport type “workout” and indicate more specifics in the activity name.

Thanks again for your contributions.

What a joke reply telling us "we sincerely hope you will continue recording and uploading your activities to Strava".

We literally can't because Strava is refusing to support the activity we want to upload. Time to cancel Strava then.
