Performance Stand Up Paddle Boarding Checklist

✅ Reach down not out for a cleaner more precise and powerful catch.

✅ Precise alignment awareness of your paddle shaft is the easiest way to progress in paddling straighter and more efficiently.

✅ Cross train with a bigger fin and smaller fin in your quiver. This is a great way to dial in your balance and board multi-plane awareness.

✅ Find the athletic stance that compliments your physique and constantly refine it.

✅ Breathe in during the set-up and breath out during the follow-through phase of your stroke.

✅ Become very attuned after the catch that the bottom arm is the fulcrum and the top arm is the lever. Grasping this dynamic quick movement is what the pros excel at.

✅ A properly sized shorter paddle will pay dividends. We are experts in building the correct length paddle. I am still seeing too many paddlers using paddlers that are just plain too long.
