Well done Eddie! I’m a 61 year young female kayaker who had a strong urge to paddle board. I bought a SUP from Aldi. Yes, ALDI. It’s fantastic. Before I took to the lake, I watched this video 3 or 4 times. My plan that first day on the water was to just paddle my SUP around the lake on my knees. Instead, I did it all - knees, standing, wide turns, braking, U turn. So stinkin’ fun!! Thanks for making this sport easy to learn and a super fun first experience. I’m hooked!YOU ROCK❣️

Hey. I'm sorry to see so few views. Your video was excellent. I am a 61 year old, fat man and I have recently taken up SUP for fun and fitness. I have watched a MANY "how to" videos and many are excellent presenting the same (more-or-less) best techniques as you. However, your detailed descriptions and many small steps is very well done. I have been practicing (my own inflatable arrives tomorrow) on a local lake with a lot of boat traffic. I have been handling the wakes pretty well standing, but last Saturday I was swamped by big one. I should have dropped to my knees, but I don't know how to do that and until I watched your video I had not thought about HOW I would do that. Immediately after watching your video, I tried on the floor and i am glad i did. Thanks, can't wait to get out on the water and practice some sumo squats.

Thanks so much to make and share this clear video. I had my first experience 2 days ago with a rented SUP board, I saw some videos before do it and I have to say some of them were good but this one is definitely better, I missed but I will see it more than once before go to the water next time in my own board (which will arrive next week) Just as comment, no sure if other people have this experience as beginner: I got "burnt" in some parts in my fingers with the paddle, by the friction. I bought gloves for next time despite I have no seen people using them for this sport. I do prefer look weird than hurt me again. Thanks again for your video ;)

I’m hoping your explanations will make it easier next time! I have very tight Achilles so can’t squat very low with flat feet .. which doesn’t seem to aid standing. I’m also 6’ so centre of gravity higher. Any extra tips please on maintaining balance when going to stand, and once stood?

@SwinglerESZone Жыл бұрын

Hey Karen, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. This question might be best answered by your chiropractor. I know people have started from a sitting position since they can't kneel the whole time. However, sumo squatting to get back up is the safest way as your are using your thighs and calves to support your lower back.

Thank you for a great video I really enjoyed it, I was just curious about the direction of the paddle, I have always held my paddle the way that you show, but recently I have seen photos and videos of people holding it the other way with the angle pointing away from you. Is this just a matter of preference or is there a correct way to hold the paddle?

@SwinglerESZone Жыл бұрын

The paddle is designed to help you glide across the water. When you flip it changes to scooping which will deplete your stamina much faster and throw you more off balance. Kayaks scoop water as they are lower to the ground and center of gravity. Remember when paddle boarding your goal is to glide across the water as efficiently as possible.
