Paddleboarding is one of the shops favourite summer activities and almost all of our staff rides one. Chill out or race it down some rapids the versatility is endless with an inflatable paddleboard. However always make sure you know what you are getting into first. Here are some first timer tips to get your feet under you:

• First off know how to swim. Paddleboarding is a water sport, so always be SAFE! Always wear a leash!
  
  
• Get a feel for the board on the ground. It's tough and can handle it, so hop on and familiarize where you want to stand. Use the pads on the board to find middle.
  
  
• Pick your entry. Make sure your fins clear and pick a easy entry point. You can work on those trick entries when you have the balance mastered.
  
  
• Knees first! Everything is easier to get used to with your centre of balance low. Stay on your knees for awhile when you first start then as you get your balance work on standing up. If you lose your balance fall back to your knees and try again.
  
  
• Once you are up keep your stance shoulder-width apart and know where on the board you want to be. Straddling the handle is a good visual point for center.
  
  
• Gain some momentum and keep moving. Like riding a bike, paddleboarding is easier once you are moving. Plus each time you paddle, it adds another point of contact helping with balance.
  
  
• Learn how to fall and practice climbing back on. Everything floats so take some time to get used to falling. Don't panic, it happens to us all. Practice climbing back on your board so it becomes easy. Get to the centre, grab the handle with one hand and the far edge with the other. Kick your feet out behind you (not below). Give yourself a good push, and pull with your arms to boost your chest up on the board.
  
  
• Relax & Enjoy! Keep your legs and knees flexible to flow with the water and enjoy. Paddleboarding is fun and a great core workout.
