Paddle/kayaking/rowing

[Franklinrujano]

Good evening Fitbit Community,

I’m new around, I bought the Fitbit Ionic just a few days ago.

I am an athelete, I practice paddle kind sports (StandUp Paddle, Outrigger, Cayuco) and I wanted to know how I can track my workout while I’m paddling in the boat (in the water of course)? 

I noticed that the Ionic don’t include this option so I’m wondering if I can simulate this kind of workouts using the Running or Cycling options.

Thanks!

Hi @Franklinrujano,

Welcome to the forums and the Ionic.

Yes, you're correct, there's no exercise mode for paddle sports. I agree about using another mode in its place.  Run and Bike are good choices, and feel free to experiment with others. 

Here are a couple of articles from Fitbit that you may find helpful.

@Franklinrujano I hope you're doing well! You can try to manually log those activities. This option is very helpful and provided accurate data. I was able to find the options to log kayaking and rowing. Paddle is not listed. However, I found this suggestion asking for paddle, feel free to vote for it. 

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes!
