i live in the pan-handle of florida and i paddle board every day. with that being said, i still learned about the weather. i usually just go by flags and don’t paddle with anything above red or purple and when flags aren’t out i just stay close to shore!

Thanks for the comment! I fully agree that you should always check the weather (tides too in your case). I love that you are using the beach flags as a reference. Better safe than sorry! Keep on having fun and being safe 🫶🏼

Thanks for the video. I went yesterday for the very first time, went with a group. I was surprised at 90% of them sat or kneeled on the board almost the entire time. I was able to stand and I will practice that more but the reality is that I was shocked to learn that you don't have to stand and it's just another way to do it but no better no worse.

Thanks for watching and commenting! Welcome to paddle boarding; congratulations on your first paddle! Did you have fun? Absolutely! Keep in mind you will get more power from your paddle stroke and be more efficient when you are standing. One of the reasons I love paddle boarding is you can make it whatever you want. Choose your own adventure!

Hi! So I just got a paddle board as a graduation gift. I’m a girl whose around 250lbs. I’ve been watching a lot of videos on YT about beginner paddle boarding. Do you have any advice for me? Do I wear a swimsuit or other clothes in the water?

Hi Heidi! Thanks for watching and reaching out. Congratulations on the new board and hobby! 🙌🏼 The top two things are to be safe and have fun! Check out some safety videos for gear, reading winds, water temperatures etc. The full video for the top 5 common beginner mistakes has more details and tips. You can watch it here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gnmdz9Vxe7Wfgso.html I have lots more resources on my KZread Channel and blog too. Don't stress about who is watching or what you look like. If you've watched some of my other stuff, I love to goof around, wear funny hats, just be me, and have fun out on the water. Don't feel you have to stand or do anything specific. Paddle boarding is whatever you want it to be! As for what to wear. Always dress for the water temperatures. If it's warmer water and weather be sure you're protecting yourself from the elements. Beyond that, wear what you're comfortable with! I hope this helps and please reach out with any other questions. Have the best time out on the water! 🤙🏼

Are you using an app to check the weather conditions?

@PaddleAdventurer

11 ай бұрын

Yes! I use a general weather app to check overall conditions but I also use a specific app for wind speed & direction as well as swell. And if you live somewhere with tides & currents you'll need to check that too. Often apps will combine some of these and I find some work better than others in certain areas. I talk a little bit about it in the long form of this video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gnmdz9Vxe7Wfgso.html And I have a blog post on reading the wind: paddleadventurer.com/how-to-read-the-wind-for-paddleboarding/

What are common laws and regulations ?

@PaddleAdventurer

Ай бұрын

Depends on where you are paddling. For Canadian laws check out this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/app_p62YYci3h8o.htmlsi=S6BT0o8-qisft8ka Some lakes in the national parks also have regulations to prevent cross contamination. Regardless, wash, clean and dry between lakes/oceans is good practice.

You should paddle in a c if you need to turn sharply. You're assuming people need to always go straight.

@PaddleAdventurer

Ай бұрын

If you need to turn sharply a pivot turn is best and is lots of fun to practice. I wouldn’t say that’s a beginner stroke. Most beginners struggle going straight vs slightly being able to turn.

Come on man you can't be that stupid. It was a tip on being most efficient in your paddling and on how to go straight. You're assuming anybody cares about your stupid comment.

what about connecting a leash to your neck?

I definitely wouldn’t recommend that. Ankle, calf or waist.

If you're under 13 you have to wear a life vest in CA

If you are a good swimmer and know what you are doing you most defently don´t need a lifejacket. Espacielly if you aren´t alone.

I personally think it's always a good idea to have a PFD as unexpected things can happen and in some places, like Canada, it's required by law. kzread.info/dash/bejne/app_p62YYci3h8o.htmlsi=pqFoQ32H1xzVmqNX

good tips but you make paddeling the most boring sport ever. An beginner should not take any risk at all, so no phone, no lease no current no lifejacket. Just a simple safe place to have fun and feel free. an beginner does not go for miles.
