Nude Pickleball – The Newest Trend That’s Taking Over

As one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, Pickleball has caught the attention of countless enthusiasts who have decided to take the game to a whole nude level (yes, you read that right – nude level).

Over the past year, the nude pickleball phenomenon has taken off, dominating headlines and compelling clothing-optional resorts to construct more pickleball courts to meet the surging demand for this unique twist on the sport.

So what’s all the hype about and why has it become so popular?

Well, in this blog we’ll jump into the world of nude pickleball, what it is, the benefits, and if you’re adventurous, where you can even play.

What Is Nude Pickleball?

Nude pickleball is pretty much exactly what it sounds – it’s regular pickleball, except nude. Well, with the exception of a hat, shoes, and some protective goggles of course.

This variation of the sport allows individuals to combine their love for pickleball with the freedom and connection to nature that comes with being in a natural state.

The History Of Nude Pickleball

While the exact origin is not well-documented, nude pickleball is believed to have started in the early 2000s when an English couple visited the Cypress Cove nudist resort in Florida. The two were seen drawing lines on the existing tennis courts and playing pickleball. And yes, for those wondering, you can definitely play pickleball on a tennis court if you set it up properly.

Since then, it has evolved into a popular pastime among Naturists in clothing-optional resorts across the United States and continues to grow year by year.

So if it’s just like regular pickleball, why are so many people playing it?
