I see feedback from Stava, but no mention of the addition of Prone Paddling. It seems to me if it moves let's track it and prone is not the same as the rest in the activity choice options.

Commenting to add another +1 to add prone paddling as an activity.

Prone Paddling should be added as its own activity, 100%.

Not only is prone paddling its own sport, but every surf club in Australia also has hundreds of people doing this regularly as well. It would be a great addition, mainly because it is so different to all the existing options that nothing seems to be an appropriate substitute.

Agreed!!! Please add prone paddleboarding as a sport option!!!

Thank you Strava!

I train and race both standup and prone and it would be a help to me to review how I split my time between the two. Thanks.

Please add prone paddleboarding as a dedicated activity. Prone paddleboarding is probably the most fundamental and primative form of human locomotion behind running/walking/hiking. Unlike some other sports, it's impossible to track distance and speed on the water without an app or GPS. You already support other water sports like Swimming, Surfing, Canoe, Kayak, Kitesurf, SUP, Sailing, and others. A recent review of dedicated activities shows you have "solved for" all manner of sub-sports (including, somewhat ridiculously "Velomobile" and "Table Tennis"). Before venturing into the next electricity-powered or niche activity, please give the Strava user base the opportunity to track these tremendous workouts, for which there is an existing racing community.

You could just base it off of SUP and tweak a few things.

+1 to this! Prone paddling needs to be an activity type for sure. Currently using SUP to log a prone paddle in Strava, but wish I didn’t have to do that. Some friends use surf or swim to log a prone, so impossible to compare data. Please add 🙂

Please add this. Surfers and Prone paddlers hurt when they have to hit SUP

Prone paddling is such a core sport and it's such a bummer logging all my paddles as Stand Up Paddles. It's a completely different sport. 

It would be so sick to see it added before 100+ paddlers cross the Catalina Channel (a historical 32 mile endurance race) this summer in California and we can see the race logged properly.

Here's an example of a race/paddle this past year that I logged as a SUP. The race is linked here.

+1 for adding Prone Paddling! I've been a Strava user since 2011. Add prone and I'll re-up my subscription. Promise.
