Great tips! I’ve paddled on hard boards for years (all rentals) but recently purchased an inflatable (a BG from Costco with great reviews) but boy it was like learning from scratch again. Add in that it’s been a couple of years and your tips are fully adding up on good things to correct on my next paddle. Thanks for sharing 17 good to know paddling tips in a quick and understandable way!
Thank you for the comment! Yeah a lot of people underestimate the transition from hard board to inflatables. You just gotta have patience with it and it will come 🙂
Thanks, learned a LOT! Saving it so i can come back again. 😊 I’ve never been paddle boarding so this helps, big time!
Thank you for your comment! Let me know how it goes! :D
Manual pumping is your warm up, if you don’t warm up you risk injury. Otherwise good tips!
That's fair, everyone has different ways to go about it. For me personally I'm a bit taller and I have suffered back injuries in the past so I personally try to avoid them because the manual pumps that come with the packages are often a little to short for me which causes me to bend over more than I'd like.
My motto is everyone has their personal preferences and that's great! Do what works for you! :)
I prefer it manually, quicker and good warm up.
Let’s hear the PFD recs! I’d love to see some options for super-minimalist, yet won’t-break-bank because it’s an only-when-required thing. Usually it’s the most comfortable/compact that have the higher price tag, it seems. What little gem of an affordable PFD am I missing?
Great question! First you have to ask yourself what style of PFD you want. Belt? Vest? Suspender type PFDs?
Realistically you CAN get away with getting one of the cheaper vest PFD's as long as its US Coast Guard or Transport Canada (or what ever water governing body you are in). However if you find yourself paddling for longer periods they can be bulky and kind of annoying.
I personally use the Onyx Move Vent for a few years and I've been happy with it as it doesn't get in my way and my go pro rests well ontop of it. The Move Vent is in and around the $60 to $100 range depending where you live.
