What to bring while paddle boarding

Tips for paddle boarding:

1. Start in calm waters: Begin your paddle boarding journey in calm and flat waters to practice your balance and paddling technique.

2. Use the right stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent to maintain balance on the board.

3. Hold the paddle correctly: Grip the paddle with one hand on the top handle and the other hand on the shaft, keeping the blade angled away from you.

4. Paddle with your whole body: Use your core muscles to paddle, rather than just your arms, for more efficient and powerful strokes.

5. Look ahead: Keep your gaze forward and focus on a fixed point to maintain stability and direction.

6. Practice turning: Use sweeping strokes on one side of the board to turn in that direction, or use back paddling to reverse.

7. Stay hydrated: Bring water with you and stay hydrated throughout your paddle boarding session.

8. Be mindful of the weather: Check the weather forecast before heading out and be prepared for changing conditions.

9. Respect marine life: Avoid disturbing wildlife and follow any local regulations regarding wildlife encounters.

10. Have fun and enjoy the experience: Paddle boarding is a great way to connect with nature and stay active, so relax and enjoy the journey!
