What is Padel?
Widely considered to be the fastest-growing sport in the world, Padel is a racquet sport that can be best defined as a hybrid between Tennis, Squash, and Badminton. Padel is very social, fun, and easy to grasp. With the right coach or trainer, a complete beginner can learn the basics of the sport and be up and running in about 20 minutes.
Enrique Corcuera, a Mexican national, invented the sport in 1969 in Mexico and founded the first Padel Club in 1947 in Marbella, Spain. Padel is one of the most popular sports in Spain, Argentina, Mexico, and other Latin American countries, and is becoming increasingly popular across Europe and the UK.
A standard Padel court is one-third the size of a Tennis court (10m X 20m); the balls used are the same as Tennis balls but with a little less pressure, and the racquets are stringless and perforated.

Imagine the feeling of motivation, an unwinding relaxation, that jolt of energy or a sharp focus… Imagine brightening your day by just being you.
Numuti is connecting traditional & functional African botanicals with hypermodern science, bringing forth a new wave of human vitalisation through consciously canned africeuticals. Paying homage to our roots by breathing in with the old… and in with the Nu.
You may find us dancing out of bed in the morning or bolting up a mountain. Appreciating the moment or pushing through to-do-lists. Vitalization created with a purpose in mind:
To make you feel like you.
