HOW TO : catch waves on SUP !!!

How to catch waves on a SUP : 1/ Analyze the spot and recognize the peak, meaning the place where the wave begins to unfurl. Be aware of the currents and winds direction. 2/ One you’ve passed the bar (impact zone) post yourself in the line-up which will be in function with the length and angle of your wind up, meaning the space that you been to paddle and take off. 3/ Determine the number of strokes needed to go from your waiting position to the perfect 90° take off angle of the swell. Key Points : – marry your Take-Off with your natural Row. – understand that the Row practically disappears with acquired speed. – your wind up should be a consistent acceleration or you double your Row!! Pointers : – more than 5 paddle sweeps = poor positioning. – up to your knees in foam = poor positioning. Remember : – protect others by respecting the rules of Surfing and good sense. – breath and look to the horizon. Advisor : Patrice Guénolé et GONG Surfboards.
