The weather is starting to warm...which means nudists will start to emerge in full force. And where will they convene to enjoy the outdoors sans clothing?
The pickleball court, naturally.
At the forefront of this burgeoning movement is Cypress Cove Nudist Resort in Florida, where pickleball has become nothing short of a sensation.
Mike Sullivan, a USA Pickleball ambassador and a resident of Cypress Cove, paints a vivid picture of the sport's ascent within the nudist community.
In an interview with The Pickler, Sullivan revealed that "pickleball is the biggest sport here by five times," illustrating the extent to which it has captivated the resort's residents.
- 14 years ago, the resort hosted its first game of nude pickleball
- 5 years later, the resort installed its first two pickleball-dedicated courts
- Now, six courts are available, and over 170 play all week long
Beyond Cypress Cove, nudist resorts across the country are witnessing similar transformations.
We guess nobody bothered to ask if they have to set a "no bodybags" rule. Let's hope for the players' sake, they have.
