Here are some tips if you are trying stand up paddle boarding for the first time:
1. Get your gear
The gear is just a standup paddle board. There are many different kinds of Standup paddle boards in Vancouver, BC so buying one might be overwhelming at first. For beginners, it’s always best to go with stand up paddle boards in Vancouver with a wider base. One about 10 feet long should be good enough for beginners. However, if you want something portable, there are also inflatable boards around you can go for. Check out your options at The Destination.
2. Practice basic techniques
One of the challenges is getting your balance on the board. For starters, you can stand up on your knees first just to get a general feel of what it is like to stay on top of the board. Once you have already gained your balance, you can switch to a standing position with your feet apart to provide a better base.
3. Pick a good location for your first time stand up paddle boarding
It’s best to choose a day when the waters are calmer. Also, look for boat traffic. You don’t want to be in a popular spot with a lot of boats going around. Check out the lakes and ponds in your area that are popular amongst stand up paddle boarders.
Make sure you wear proper clothes to be comfortable. Wear sunscreen as well to protect your skin from the sun and check the weather forecast before heading out.
