SUP "How To"
How To Stand Up Paddle Board
Start out by standing up on the stand up paddle board and holding the paddle with one of your hands about one-third of the way down the shaft of the paddle and one hand on the handle of the paddle.
When you paddle on the left side of the board you hold the paddle with your right hand, and then switch hands for the other side.
Put the blade about one and one-half feet in front of you on the side of the board in the water and then smoothly pull the blade of the paddle through the water.
When the blade reaches a point that is about one foot behind your body then lift it up from the water and put it to the front again and repeat.
You may wish to paddle several times on one side before alternating hands and sides. This will vary depending upon wind conditions, currents, and if you are attempting to turn the stand up paddle board.
