River is different from the flat water like lake water. It is one of the most technical mediums of the SUP. For rookies, there will be some mistakes occurring. Well, it is not something to be ashamed of. Even pro paddle boarders make mistakes in the pro. Presuming that you are a beginner, you could consider these mistakes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leashing around the ankle<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leashing around the ankle can\u2019t be good. There are some cases in which the paddler ankle was injured when released from the board. It is because the leash stick to the ankle, restraining the paddler to get a safe landing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Standing with your feet side-by-side<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many times, there are beginners who stand with their feet side-by-side. If you have been used to it, you need to change your habit. Switch it with the staggered stance so that you will have the balance from front to back, as well as side to side one. Some even use surfing stance. Well, if you are surfing, you are correct. But rather, you need to use staggered stance since it is SUP. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7wXpN_sU_AM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bare feet<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a mistake that you need to avoid. Make sure you wear your shoes and don\u2019t stand up in the current. Being a barefoot is a good way to make your feet hurt. To add the fact, even the surfing booties can\u2019t provide enough protection against the reefs. If you are looking for the best shoes in the market, try the brand Hijacks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Omit protective gear<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is a fatal mistake. As mentioned paddling on the river is different from flat water. The currents in the river can be rough and challenging. That means there\u2019s a chance to fall off and hit the rocks. Not to mention the other hazards that we can\u2019t mention one by one here. Omitting protective gear will only harm yourself. Consider wearing knee and shin pads so that you won\u2019t break your knee when smashing the water, or rocks. Smashing to waters will likely happen too often if you are beginner. And please, wear your personal flotation device. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Getting on board without basics<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No one can take the risks to get on board without following the lessons before. Take a lesson and don\u2019t try to be a hero. It is fair that you just begin and learn the basics. After all, you are not alone. Even some adults who are in their 40s just start to learn. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There you have them.
