Basic Paddle Stroke

Stand in the center of your paddle board by placing your feet on either side of the carry handle and make sure that your blade is flicking forward. TIP: Keep your eyes up and pick a non-moving object to look at to help you stay balanced.

Reach forward and put the whole paddle blade into the water then, pull the paddle toward yourself.

TIP: Try to reach forward as far as you can.

Once the paddle passes your feet, take it out from the water, reach forward and continue the next stroke.

TIP: To keep your paddle board going in a straight line, switch to paddle on the other side of the board as well.
