SUP Tips: How to stand up on a paddle board and stay balanced

Stand up paddle board tips for staying stable after you’ve stood up.

My method is to immediately place the flat paddle blade in the water as soon as you get up. Or paddle for stability. Practice on shore to try it out. If you fall, fall flat away from the board. Falling is normal! Check out my videos for climbing back on.

Wear a PFD and leash to make sure you don’t lose your board after a fall.
