When you are conducting stand up paddle board trips for SUP surf, chances are you are going to challenge the north shore waves.

You may have been a while in the whitewater, you have conquered the surf stance and learn the basics about catching the waves. Now you will advance to catch the waves smoother than before. The key to successfully catch the wave is the position of yours.

Position really determines who will get the waves. The best positioning will get the finest wave, the longer and the most beautiful one. In the other side, worst positioning will get boring and dull waves. In other words, you can’t afford to lose the best positioning to catch the waves. So, how to find the best position?

First things first, you will need to observe the waves whether they have multiple peaks or not. You may need to pinpoint the different waves by defining them with peak numbers. But the peaks may be different because you are looking them from different angle. The best way to recognize the exact peak on the beach is look inside that whitewater when the waves break. That way you will be able to reconnect with the peak and find the best position for your SUP surf. This will make the whitewater trail and outside of the whitewater trail will be the peak of yours.

This tip can be done by practicing more. And just like other SUP surfers, it can be difficult at the first time. You will need to learn the position yourself by following through the whitewater trail.

If you are a right-hander, reconnecting yourself with the peak will be much easier. The positioned paddler will be far to the right if you look the wave from the beach. If it is a left-hander, it will work the opposite.This positioning gesture will make you different when catching the waves. It will force you to paddle from the back of the peak and drop into the wave at the peak or behind the peak. It is a matter of chance and option.

By considering these tips for your stand up paddle board trips, you will no longer be afraid to catch the wave. Not to mention that you will be able to assess its form, adjust the speed or make the right direction when approaching it.
