Really clear instructions. One of the best TH-cam videos for the basics of SUP.
+Sarah Banks thank you for the compliment, please check out some of our newer instructional videos as well.
This is the only video I've seen that explains the correct orientation of the paddle.
Thank you, 4:32 is where I talk about how to hold the paddle correctly. We also have this video that goes into more detail about why you hold it that way: th-cam.com/video/l9_F-Md5px0/w-d-xo.html
Seriously.... the other videos are all assuming we already know how lol
Right on! Excellent video, thank you very much! i came for the thumbnail but stayed for it all, great job!!!
Absolutely interesting! Steps are easy to follow.
Finally a video of a forward stroke without the much seen bended back. great!
I found your channel because of the drone, via De Le Rue the snowboarder who uses same drone, but I have to say man this is the GOLD standard of instructional videos: straight to the point, no repetition, no teasing or trailing just solid, expert instruction - GREAT JOB! I don't even stand up paddle, but I know I can now - actually I've seen some doing it in Singapore, so...
Glad you liked it, thank you!
Love it ! Thanks for helping me put my go pro together
Great help! Thank you so much!
Nice! I'm in love with SUP!
Great basic intro video... lots of great tips for beginners!! Thanks
+Sabrina Keeley Thank you for your feedback, please also check out our many other instructional SUP videos on the blueplanetsurf youtube channel.
Awesome info! Great vid
Great video thanks. I wish I have listened the safety instructions in before I learnt from the hard way. I have started pedaling in the tailwind 5mins easy and I took me half an hour to got back
Thanks for sharing, that is a very common and potentially dangerous mistake 🤙🏼
great info thank you
I am gonna buy my stand up paddle board this week !!!! YAY
Good for you, enjoy!
Hello from Long Island, NY.. Just ordered my first paddle board, so thank you for posting all of this great information!
+Al Hall Enjoy!
blueplanetsurf , thanks! At 350 lbs and the size of a pro football player, I think I'm going to put the paddle board in my oval shaped pool first, and practice getting on and off it, before I even bring it down to the bay!
Hi Al, I don't recommend that, if you fall in a pool close to the edge you could hit your head and seriously injure yourself. Better to find some calm, shallow water for your first try and make sure to get a board that is big enough for you, I recommend over 300L volume and over 38" wide for you. This model could work: blueplanetsurf.com/products/112-x-40-sumo-2017/
good video. Thanks
Great instructions. Thank you!
🙏😎🤙🏼

Hi everyone! Nice video and nice music by Marty Dread - Walking in Kingston-
Yes, I used to live in Maui and love Marty Dread! 🤙🏼
Great tips, well done video. Can you please explain where feet should go, how far apart as a beginner? I have a touring 12'6" board
shoulder width, at the center of the board's volume, usually on either side of the handle but you can experiment with the trim. If the board trims well, the board should be flat in the water and have a clean release at the tail with water releasing right off the edge of the board. It the tail is underwater, move forward to reduce drag, if your tail is sticking up off the water, move back until the tail just kisses the surface of the water.
thankx
Thanks for this video
You are most welcome! 🤙🏼
Hi from Northern California dude !! Great video and very clear. I'm excited to be getting my first paddle board anytime soon. Any thoughts on wetsuits in colder water (55F) ?
Hi dude! Glad to hear you liked the video. As for wetsuits, that's not my area of expertise, luckily we don't need them in Hawaii. Best to go to your local surf or SUP shop, they will steer you in the right direction.
Very instructive
Glad you liked it!
what is the name/price of the board used in this video?
+Dalesha Stevens Hi Dalesha, this video was shot in 2012 and the 12'6 Blue Planet touring model in the video is no longer available. We do have our 2015 and 2016 model race/touring boards in stock, please check our website for details: www.blueplanetsurf.com

Hi there. What ia the volumen in litres recomended for a 93 kgs guy?. Nice video iiii
Francisco Romero
For beginners, we recommend your body weight in kg= liters x 2 or approximately 180 liters volume for your weight. For racing and touring you can go with a higher volume.
As you improve you can gradually lower the volume of the boards you use as a lower volume board will generally surf better but will be harder to balance on and control. One liter of volume displaces one liter of water and therefore creates one kg of lift, so one liter will float one kg of weight.
Expert SUP surfers can use a board volume as low as their body weight plus about 10% or about 105 liters for your weight but at this volume the board will barely float you. Some pros even use boards that don't float them if they stop paddling, with the volume in liters slightly less than their body weight plus board and equipment weight in kg.
Ok thank very much. I'm testing some sups but all are less than 150 litres...
Francisco Romero check out this post on SUP board volume and how to determine the best volume for your weight and skill level: blueplanetsurf.com/blogs/news/15736120-sup-board-volume-and-floatation-vs-body-weight-explained
nice board
Great eplained. What a cool Board! What name? What series?
This video is a few years old and we no longer make the board shown in the video, sorry.
These are the current models: www.blueplanetsurf.com/sups/
can sup on my knees no problem but i stuck at standing. im starting to wonder if using an inflatable SUP for your first sup makes it harder
I have only started a week ago myself and also an starting on an inflatable. I did have some trouble standing up as well at first. First thing is definitely inflate your sup up near its max, around here the water is still cold so after its in the water for awhile it does lose some pressure as it cools off. I only went up to 12psi out of 15psi, and when I came back in it was down to 10-9. Softer seems to be harder to stand on because it shakes a bit more when your moving(nose flapping up and down). Second thing flat water with little to no current is good for learning. When I trying to stand in water that was mostly flat but had a current, I keep finding that even when I get to my feet, I found myself drifting and getting close to something then panic and fall. After all that the next time on flat water and inflating up to the max it said(15psi for mine) I didn't have nearly as much trouble.
Beach Life You should inflate your board to at least 15 psi. A thicker inflatable is more rigid, that helps too (4" thick boards can be quite flexible, even when fully inflated). The most important aspect for side to side balance, even on an inflatable, os the width. If you are struggling, you may need a wider board. Always demo first if possible before buying. Aloha!
@DaveDesrochers & Beach Life, you guys started with inflatable, do you guys still use it often after a year?? or now you prefer rigid boards?? any other comments to someone trying to decide between the two? (already watch many youtube videos on it, just want someone's opinion)
The primary reason I started on an inflatable is due to the fact that while I'm in college I'm living out of smaller apartments and just do not have the room to store a rigid board. Having used both I do say I prefer a rigid board. Don't have to spend 15 minutes setting it up or taking it down, a bit more glide on the water and I find I can do pivot turns easier on a rigid board(which is useful on smaller rivers). That being said, if your just looking for some fun the differences between a rigid and quality inflatable are small. When travelling I still use the inflatable all the time since its easier to transport. Both will work just fine with almost no difference for recreation, but I generally prefer a rigid board when I have the means to store and transport one.
Thank you Dave, that sums it up well. Inflatables are great for convenience and travel and work well for cruising but they do have drawbacks compared to hard boards. They work well for flat water cruising but in the surf you give up a lot of performance compared to a well designed hard SUP surfboard.
The girl in blue is totally doing what he said not to hahaha
so pretty much just don't do anything the people in the background are doing. lol got it!
Haha, yes pretty much!
Those are not our students, btw!
I want to do that but I have no ocean near by so I'll just stick with a lake
All you need is water, that's one of the best things about Stand Up Paddling.
harder than it looks
The pros make it look easy but it's really not that hard. If you are struggling, get a bigger, more stable board, some instruction (or watch our youtube videos: ) and try it again in calm conditions.
Here is a playlist of our SUP technique videos:

BOO!
I would have enjoyed watching this more if he had his shirt off...
DOMT ALWAYS GO UP WIND!!!! IF ITS DOWN CURRENT YOULL BE JUST AS TIRED COMING BACK!!!!!
Agreed, if the current is stronger than the wind, paddle against the current. Basically you should always do the harder leg first 🤙🏼
Im still awake
That's good!

potatoes63 So lame.
I want a transparent paddle board so I can see under the water.
You can buy inflatables with an underwater viewing window, like this Starboards model: star-board-sup.com/2017/board/112-x-40-vision-inflatable/
Very basic
Maya, yes, this is the very basic introduction, please check our other videos for more advanced technique tips on our blog at www.zenwaterman.com
and i need basics.. your point???
I'm thinking it looks a bit harder than I thought..
Click bait. No girls until last 10sec.
+Ho Lee Phuk true, if you want to see the girls go to 2:20 and then 10:45. If you want to learn to SUP, watch the whole thing.
blueplanetsurf True that it is a relatively well-done and informative SUP video, the fact remains that your thumbnail is indeed clickbait and has nothing to do with the instructional video.
