Several advices to correctly ride the stand up inflatable paddle board. Store your inflatable SUP in the right temperature range. This is less important than the key factors 1. keeping your board dry and 2. keeping it out of the sun, but climate control is something SUPers ask about often. Anywhere between 40-110 degrees Fahrenheit (5-40 degrees Celsius) is recommended. Again, inflatable SUPs are durable, but extreme conditions aren’t ideal for any sporting equipment and that’s true for your paddle board too. Avoid freezing cold or baking hot conditions.

During the summer months on a warm body of water, most people choose to wear some combination of a swimsuit, board shorts, and a short- or long-sleeved rash guard for sun protection. For cool conditions where hypothermia is a concern, wear a wetsuit or dry suit. Typically sold separately, a leash tethers your inflatable SUP to you, keeping it close by if you fall off. Your inflatable SUP is a large flotation device, so being attached to it can be important for your safety. There are leashes designed specifically for surf, flat water and rivers, be sure to purchase the correct one for your intended use. Inflatable SUP is an outdoor activity and being protected from the sun’s harmful rays is important. Wear sunscreen, sunglasses (we recommend polarised lenses) and sun-protective clothing.

Leg muscles. These are used when you balance and as the SUP is continually moving, your legs are continually working to maintain your balance. You may feel stiff when you first start out on your SUP, but it won’t take long for your leg muscles to get stronger. Arms and shoulder muscles. You use your arms and shoulder for paddling, and for many other smaller activities on and around the board, such as carrying it down to the water. At first you may feel pain in the shoulders when you paddle as your muscles will not be used to this type of activity. As you spend more time on the water, you’ll notice your arms and shoulders have more power in them.

An extra inflatable stand up paddle board advice: Fall off your board the right way: Even the pros fall off so this is always going to be a part of your stand up paddle boarding. What is important through, is how you fall. Just like you can practice tricks and wave riding, practicing falls or at least being aware of how to fall and fall safely can ensure your session is not cut short by injury. Paddle boards are big and can hurt when they hit you, when you fall, you want to fall away from your board. Don’t worry, you’re attached to it with your leash and it won’t go away, but falling well clear of the board will let you fall gracefully into water without falling on the board or the fins. This is especially important in any location with current or waves as the board will move independently of your input.
