  8. 8 . The paddle board handle of claim 1 , wherein the handle assembly comprises at least one support and a second crossbar.
  9. 9 . The paddle board handle of claim 8 , wherein the at least one support comprises two supports.
  10. 10 . The paddle board handle of claim 8 , wherein the second crossbar comprises a tube having a first end and a second end and two corner pieces attached to the first end and the second end.
  11. 11 . The paddle board handle of claim 10 , wherein the two corner pieces each comprise a slot and a bar.
  12. 12 . The paddle board handle of claim 11 , wherein the at least one support comprises a hook configured to be inserted into the slot and hook onto the bar.
  13. 13 . The paddle board handle of claim 8 , wherein the at least one support comprises a clip configured to be inserted into the base assembly.
  14. 14 . A paddle board system comprising: a paddle board; and a paddle board handle positioned on a top surface of the paddle board and attached to the paddled board by at least one strap, the paddle board handle comprising: a base assembly configured to be placed on the top surface of the paddle board; and a handle assembly extending from the base, wherein the handle assembly and the base assembly are configured to stabilize a person on the paddle board.
  15. 15 . The paddle board system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one strap comprises two straps.
  16. 16 . The paddle board system of claim 14 , wherein the handle assembly comprises at least one strap slot configured to receive and attach the paddle board handle to the paddle board.
  17. 17 . A method of assembling a paddle board system, the method comprising: providing two base rails, two crossbars, and two supports; assembling a base assembly by attaching the two base rails to one of the two crossbars; assembling a handle assembly by attaching the two supports to one of the two crossbars; and attaching the handle assembly to the base assembly.
  18. 18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein attaching the handle assembly to the base assembly comprises clipping the handle assembly into the base assembly.
  19. 19 . A method of disassembling a paddle board system including a paddle board handle and a paddle board, the method comprising: unclipping a base assembly of the paddle board handle from a handle assembly of the paddle board handle, the base assembly comprising two base rails and a first crossbar, the handle assembly comprising two supports and a second crossbar; disassembling the base assembly by unhooking the two base rails from the first crossbar; and disassembling the handle assembly by unhooking the two supports from the second crossbar.
  20. 20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising detaching the paddle board handle from the paddle board by removing two straps from connectors on the paddle board and from the paddle board handle.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/716,133, entitled “PADDLE BOARD HANDLE,” filed on Nov. 4, 2024, which is specifically incorporated by reference for all it discloses and teaches. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates generally to handles for watercraft and, more specifically, to a handle for a paddleboard. BACKGROUND OF CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE DISCLOSURE Paddle boarding and/or stand-up paddle boarding is an effective and enjoyable workout to improve overall fitness. The participant lies or kneels on the paddle board and propels themselves through the water by making a swimming motion with their arms while lying or kneeling on the paddle board. In stand-up paddle boarding, the participant stands upright on the paddle board, and propels the paddle board through the water using a paddle. In both paddle boarding and stand-up paddle boarding, the participants must maintain their balance to remain on the paddle board. However, many participants with young children need to bring their children with them as they paddle board. The young children may not be able to maintain their balance on the paddle board without assistance. Additionally, some participants may have trouble keeping their balance on the paddle board. Accordingly, there is a need for a paddle board handle that enables a participant or young children to maintain their balance on the paddle board. BRIEF SUMMARY OF SOME ASPECTS OF THE DISCLOSURE One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a paddle board handle including base assembly configured to be placed on a top surface of a paddle board and a handle assembly extending from the base. The handle assembly and the base assembly are configured to stabilize a person on the paddle board. Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a paddle board system including a paddle board and a paddle board handle. The paddle board handle is positioned on a top surface of the paddle board and attached to the paddled board by at least one strap. The paddle board handle includes a base assembly configured to be placed on the top surface of the paddle board and a handle assembly extending from the base. The handle assembly and the base assembly are configured to stabilize a person on the paddle board. Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method of assembling a paddle board system. The method includes providing two base rails, two crossbars, and two supports. The method also includes assembling a base assembly by attaching the two base rails to one of the two crossbars. The method further includes assembling a handle assembly by attaching the two supports to one of the two crossbars. The method also includes attaching the handle assembly to the base assembly. Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method of disassembling a paddle board system including a paddle board handle and a paddle board. The method includes unclipping a base assembly of the paddle board handle from a handle assembly of the paddle board handle. The base assembly includes two base rails and a first crossbar. The handle assembly includes two supports and a second crossbar. The method also includes disassembling the base assembly by unhooking the two base rails from the first crossbar. The method further includes disassembling the handle assembly by unhooking the two supports from the second crossbar. There are other novel aspects and features of this disclosure. They will become apparent as this specification proceeds. Accordingly, this brief summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description. The summary and the background are not intended to identify key concepts or essential aspects of the disclosed subject matter, nor should they be used to constrict or limit the scope of the claims. For example, the scope of the claims should not be limited based on whether the recited subject matter includes any or all aspects noted in the summary and/or addresses any of the issues noted in the background.
