Learn to SUP in 5 minutes- How to Stand Up Paddleboard for beginners

Awesome video very informative

Tried this a few weeks ago and turns out I have no balance 😂😂😂

lol Im on a bot so I dont need do the first 4 steps

I figured out how to stand my first time before watching this video, but the tips about the paddle orientation were still very helpful. I definitely was holding it backwards, cheers!

The most important thing for people who are still struggling to stand up and balance that I want to emphasize that I figured out, and that was reinforced here in this video, is looking straight forward. It's kind of like driving a car, you look as far forward as you can. If possible, look as far as the horizon. Don't look down, don't look around, because your body will move when you look around, and your mind may unconsciously adjust your balance when it's unnecessary based on what you're looking at. Once you're balanced and have kind of become integrated with the board, you can begin to slowly look around and learn to become conscious of hazards around you.

I‘m learning English now， so I don't understand what you say but I think you are right ! thank you for your video.

This guy is the Tom Brady of SUP

Thank you so much for these tips. Just bought my first SUP today and I can’t wait to try it. This will help me a lot.

Who’s here bc of the Obama chef drowning Incident? Conspiracy maybe.

It was very difficult to watch because the words covered the view.

This is the most stupid sport ever . Absolutely stupid. Extremely easy... no point to it at all.

I am just curious one thing. I am usuing 4fizjo Tusnami Sup - I have 91kg weight. Receomndation is 10-13 psi for my SUP. But i noticed that when I was on it, water didint reach level when it goes through the middle of SUP. Should I use in this case less psi ? or its depend of the type of SUP i have :D

Thanks for this quick and concise video! I just watched it while at the beach and about to hop on my new paddle board for the first time and I was totally going to use the paddle backwards haha and also had no clue where to stand so this is good knowledge to have! Thanks again

I'm just past the learning stage and the tips that helped me are:
1) Bend the knees slightly. Gives you a little more bounce which absorbs wobbles more easily.
2) one foot slightly in front so you can balance front to back as well as side to side
3) relax and look ahead. Easy to say but the more you let your muscles relax the more your own body will automatically self correct. Actively trying to re-adjust is a little like when a car goes into a skid. Small calm movements are way better than stiff jerky corrections.
4) don't do it in choppy water. You want calm still water for learning. If you are around others get some distance. Even gentle ripples from kids playing is challenging for a beginner.

Legend! Thanks!

Thanks!

Do you also use wax for these boards?

For safety first, I’d say a PFD is essential regardless of leash strap. If somehow one were to hit their head and knock themselves out, a PFD might help with that predicament.

What’s the proper technique for defending yourself with the paddle from sharks and aggressive pit bulls?

Great video thanks 👍 I keep falling off just as I stand up.... only been out twice though, off our local beach.
I'll try your suggestion of standing and looking ahead 😁

Damn dude. I didn’t know Tom Brady had a paddling channel!! Subscribed! 😂
