- Falling into the water safely and getting back onto the board is the topic of this episode #6 of How to Stand Up Paddleboard with Verena Mei. Please subscribe to the blueplanetsurf youtube channel for new videos posted on a weekly basis, Aloha!
Summary: If you are loosing your balance on a Stand Up board, it's best to fall into the water and not onto the board, as you can hurt yourself and/or damage your board by trying to catch your fall. Fall flat into the water and don't jump in feet first to avoid hitting the bottom. To get back onto the board, kick your feet behind you, not down or under the board, while sliding your chest back onto the board, it's easy if you do it right.

Thanks for watching, Aloha! - กีฬา
Went out for my first time ever today and after watching several of your videos last night I had so much more confidence and did great! Was out on the water for hours and only fell in twice. Each time, it was a breeze getting back up! Thank you so much!
Fantastic, I love getting this kind of feedback! ❤️😎🤙🏼
Got my board @ Blue planet 4 years ago when I was stationed there. I'm still walkin on water here in Washington State and plan o doing it till I die!
Awesome, thank you Jaime and wishing you many more years on the water, paddling keeps you young!
This video was recommended by the folks at Serene Life, and it is really helpful. I just got my first Inflatable Board and was concerned about falling off (the wrong way and hurting myself), and then getting back on the Board. This video addressed both of these issues and I can't wait to get back on the water this weekend. Thank you.
Excellent 🤙🏼
On iSup is very hard to get from side. I get from behind. Put paddle on the board or leave in the water, you do not need it for now. Get behind the board, grab metal hook or leg strap cord (holding on the sides of board does not help, too thick). Swim a bit forward, so you have some speed in the water. Quickly pull the board under yourself. Usually it goes only half way (because it's too buoyant). Then grab carrying strap in the middle of the board with other hand and pull board more under yourself. After second pull you'll be on the board. To fully adjust your position use sides of the board, which will be easy at this point. Hopefully it will help.
Yes, I have seen some people use that method, sounds good 👍
I have a new iSUP, and first time i went out on it, I've hurt my ribs getting up on it. It was very choppy and i ended up falling a lot. I used hard board in the past and had no issues, pure fun. I will try this method next time. Thank you!
Thank you for the video. Very well explained. Today I tried SUP for the first time. Fell into water and couldn't get back on to the board. I had a life jacket and I was using a hard board for beginner. Next time will definetly try the method showned in your video. Thanks and appreciate it.
Thank you for the comment Gustavo, don't get discouraged and keep trying, you will get it.
Surething. Definetly will keep trying. Thx 😀
I've fell on a board I was using, next time I'm taking a medi-kit lol.
Avoid the board (hard) and fall into the water (soft)! For more info watch this video: th-cam.com/video/yD5AUo7S7Cg/w-d-xo.html
Got on my board the first time yesterday!! Everything you’ve explained has helped. I found that if it’s windy it’s tough to stand up so I kneeled when going up wind. Any hints/thoughts/techniques for up wind paddling ??
Yes, we have a video for that too: th-cam.com/video/nJrLBgaFeb4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! That explains a lot! 👍
It's always good to hear that the videos are helpful, keep paddling!
Enjoyed the bumper music -- "In the Land of Rhinoplasty"
Thanks Tom Brady!
Haha, Thank you, I’ll take it as a compliment 🤙🏼
Great tips. Mahalo

Great vid hoping to buy a sup this week this has helped!
Great, enjoy! 🤙🏼

Welcome 🤙🏼
What brand of boards are these? I love the one the woman used in this video!
Good to hear you like our Blue Planet boards. Verena’s board is the 9’6 x 30 model, this is the 2019 version of her board, free air cargo shipping to nearest airport and board bag is included:

That Bamboo paddle shaft is very cool! is it a custom made paddle?
Not custom, it’s a carbon shaft with bamboo veneer, very pretty 🤙🏼
Thanks, and is it easy to get on over inflatable or hard one?
The rail thickness makes a difference, thick, high volume inflatables can be harder to get back up on.
@@blueplanetsurf Is the inflatable good? I am thinking it is not so heavy for me to carry to the beach?
@@LeifLorentz there are pros and cons, it depends if you value the convenience over the better performance and longevity of a hardboard, watch this for details: th-cam.com/video/IvS5L3icdeI/w-d-xo.html
Is it easier to get on a hard board ? I have a inflatable and find it rather challenging to get back on .
Are you kicking your feet behind you to get your whole body close to the surface before you slide your chest onto the board? A thicker board can be harder to get on and a pfd can also get in the way but with good technique it should not be difficult.
blueplanetsurf I was kicking my feet behind I think it was hard because I’m overweight (wkg on that ;) & my ISUP is 6 in thick . . I’m thinking of practicing in my community pool so I can get the technique down
@@Kwood10 yes, it should get easier with practice, kick your feet behind you while sliding your chest onto the board.
Who makes Verena Mei's top? It is beautiful.
Aloha James! Sorry for the delayed response. It's Seea Swimwear :). I love their designs!
God, on one of his better days.
why not use attachment to wrist and paddle to not lose it?
I have seen people do that but it’s usually not an issue
It might not hurt if u fall into the water but here in Finland the water is just cold😑😂❄️
I guess cold water hurts too but at least it won't crack your ribs.
Move to Hawaii!
@blueplanetsurf Does anyone know where this beach is at?
This is Ala Moana Beach Park 🤙🏼
@@blueplanetsurf Thank you so much!!
"water is soft" my sis was tryna stand on my board, and busted her nose on the water in a belly-flop. rip.
She must have hit something hard, I don’t think you can bust your nose by falling in the water unless you are cliff diving from over 100 feet maybe.
@@blueplanetsurf lol nope, probs the sand tbh
yes, hitting the sand will do it too!
That is why I don’t practice my balancing on shallow water; for me, the water has to be at least a hip-deep.
@@g..n.4700 I recently learnt how to stand up, i recommend water you cant touch, or you can only tip-toe in - but, thats just me . _.
You don’t always fall to the side .
Yes but try to avoid falling on the board. 🤙🏼
Seems like all common sense stuff. Good video though.
🙏🤙🏼
