Morphology
paddleboarding = paddleboard (semi-transparent) = paddle + board + ing
The noun is formed regularly from the verb 'paddleboard' with -ing, and the sport meaning is directly recoverable from the base.
Etymology
Paddleboarding joins paddle ('a flat tool for moving water') and board ('a flat piece you stand on'), like surfboard. So it literally names the sport of moving across water on a board while using a paddle, and the modern form called stand-up paddleboarding became popular in Hawaii, which is why people often stand as they paddle.
