There are different ways by which one can ride a stand up paddle board<\/a><\/strong>. Certain river rapids have standing waves caused by the fast moving water running over the rocky bottom contour of the river. If you can paddle into this standing wave you have a theoretically endless wave until you fall or are physically exhausted. This experience is no less than nirvana.

This actually goes for all stand up paddle boarders<\/a><\/strong> but the sooner you are aware how vital a leash is in any kind of condition the safer you and everyone else will be when you are paddling.

** Make sure your paddle is the right way<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all done it because it seems right at the time. You want the paddle to scoop the water as you try to balance and paddle without falling in. However, as we all eventually find out, the paddle goes the other way as it works more effectively when in the standing position and also results in a smoother paddle stroke and less stress on your shoulders and elbows. As the shaft is the leading edge you pull the blade through the water in a slightly trailing position which aids blade stability and as you perform the SUP stroke, the blade is vertical providing the best angle through the middle of the stroke for the most power.<\/p>\n
