Apply these three tips to paddle straighter on your paddle board.
Now depending on water conditions such as wind, swell, tides, etc. you'll have to adjust your paddle angle/stroke in order to compensate.
Also, if your paddle board is very wide you'll find it harder to paddle straight simply do to the width of your board.

I've been struggling all summer with a right drift with my left side paddle stroke that seemed to show up from now where. I think my weight distribution might be the solution! I was starting to think that my left side stroke was forever lost to me lol. Thank you for your great videos.

@raghuram2815 Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for Tip#3. #1 and #2 are pretty common tips we see in most videos. But I noticed this happen with me that I was either losing control or turning in one direction because of the excess stress on trying to get the perfect stroke. Now I realize that I was most likely shifting my weight to the leg on whichever side I was paddling. Gotta rectify that next time.

Started SUP this year. I’ve been out about 5 times so far and love it. I use these videos for what I call my practice sessions on lakes before heading to the beach this summer. One thing I notice is that my feet get kind of numb after about 30+ minutes. I tend to go for 1-2 hours at a time. Am I just not shifting around enough? If I drop to my knees for a bit it goes away in a minute and I’m off to the races again. It is a beginner lever inflatable from Costco but most seem to have the same surface. I typically wear surf boots or shoes but had the same experience barefoot. Thanks for the videos. This is the most fun I’ve had on the water that I remember.

@ethanhuffsup Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching Sheldon and great question! Unfortunately it's hard to eliminate the numbness. It mostly comes from standing in one spot for a prolonged period of time. The best thing you can do is periodically move your feet on your board and keep the blood flowing. It's what I do and it helps. Also, as your balance improves you'll have less numbness as your feet become more relaxed on the board. Hope that helps and enjoy your next paddle session!

@MrBalas3 Жыл бұрын

@@ethanhuffsup I have the beginner paddle board from Costco and 34" width I'm sure it's a good 2-3 inches wider than the one in your video. Would you say that a wider board make it harder to track as well? I'm going to have to try your techniques regardless cause I struggle with staying straight. Maybe being 6' 4.5" I need a longer paddle too. thanks for your video lessons.

@johnoconnor8113 5 күн бұрын

Thanks for the tips. I definitely have an issue with putting too much weight in the foot on the paddle side. That takes a bit more mindfulness for sure. Another thing that I was doing was leaving the paddle in too far past my feet at the end of each stroke. I could be crazy, but that seems to effect the tracking as well. Once I started lifting the paddle out at my feet, it SEEMS to improve my board tracking straight. But I could be wrong. I am an efficiency nerd and want to start analyzing my stroke on video. My Gili board does have a place to mount a camera on the front, but not sure it would be a good view to analyze most of the stroke issues. A side view as you had with the Michael Booth analysis was awesome as you can really see the inefficiences in positions, but I assume you have to have someone at a distance with a video camera.......or is there some fancy mount for the side of my board? Probably would need to be 10ft or so away from me?

@ethanhuffsup 4 күн бұрын

Yeah, the best way to get a video is to have someone film you or to set up a camera and tripod on shore. Then simply paddle by it both directions and once directly at the camera. This is the best viewing angle as cameras mounted on your board are unfortunately too close for an accurate picture of what's going on.

@jeansandmyshirt Ай бұрын

excellent thanks. is 35" paddleboard to wide? i want to buy it to attach kayak seat and also use it for fishing

@ethanhuffsup Ай бұрын

That would be a great width to use for the extra stability as you move around on it with your fishing stuff. It won’t be the fastest board but it will be stable.

@MaxSergeyenko Жыл бұрын

Can you damage the inflatable paddle board if you are scraping the sides with the paddle on each stroke? Is that a good idea or no to get it the closest to the edge of the sup?

@ethanhuffsup Жыл бұрын

You won't damage the side of your board at all doing this, but you don't want to be banging it against your board either with each stroke as this is also not the best technique. The goal is to have the shaft some right along side the board with each stroke. It takes practice but makes a big difference. 😃

@Jenvey1 11 ай бұрын

I imagine the shape of the board makes a difference as well? Are the ones with a pointy nose are easier to paddle straight?

@ethanhuffsup 11 ай бұрын

These are typically touring or race boards with the pointed noise and it does help some with tracking as these boards are also typically narrower.

@rogerlivsey8342 8 ай бұрын

Can improve Put a slight rotation on the paddle at entry to pull the nose to the paddling side If you have a solid board then a bit of weight on the paddling side foot helps keep it straight Test yourself. CAN YOU PADDLE 360Deg, to the direction of the paddle side
