Your safety is important to us – and where water is involved, there are of course risks, this is how to get started paddling.

These tips should help you to move safely and correctly on the Board.

1. Adjust the paddle to your size – it should be about 20 cm longer than your body height.

2. Attach the leash (safety line) to one of your ankles.

3. Carry the board by the handle and make sure that it does not bump into anything.

4. The fin underneath the board needs sufficient water depth to prevent it from touching the ground. Please pay special attention to this when getting in and out of the water.

5. For your start on the water, paddle in a kneeling position to get a feeling for the board. The same applies if you feel insecure.

6. Once you feel more stable, slowly straighten up. To do this, keep your feet about shoulder width apart and use the paddle to balance yourself.

7. We recommend wearing a life jacket.

8. Don’t forget to bring drinks (especially water) and sunscreen for each trip.
