hey there strava team! hoping for the team to consider adding prone paddleboarding to the list of sports. we usually have to use SUP or some other type of outdoor activity. thanks!
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.
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.
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.
+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 🙂
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.
