How To Stand On Your Paddle Board

To stand up on your paddle board, follow these steps:

  1. Start in a kneeling position near the center of the board, with your paddle across the board in front of you.
  2. Place your hands on either side of the board near your knees and slowly rise to a standing position.
  3. Keep your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart, with your toes pointing forward.
  4. Look straight ahead to maintain your balance and keep your weight centered over the board.
  5. Hold your paddle with both hands and start to paddle, using your core muscles to maintain balance and stability.

Remember to start in calm waters and practice your balance before attempting to stand up on your board.
