I have just an 11'6" recreational board... Should I focus on the one-step-back sweep? Besides, as a windsurfer, I feel quite confident in moving back and forth on the board.
@supboardguide 9 күн бұрын
The step back turn is a great skill to have when you want to make large turns. But having a whole quiver of skills available is the best thing to really focus on. When making smaller turns (up to 90 degrees) skills like a forward sweep / dab sweep or a bow-draw are still very effective at turning without losing momentum.

Ive used both, and completely agree. I really like my inflatable, for flat water its my go to board. I really dont find any advantage to a hard board in most of the paddling that i do. Ive recently been learning to sup surf and the inflatable has got me through the learning phase really well, but i am quickly finding its limits so have just got a hard board to continue learning on. My inflatable will continue to be the go to for flat water though.

@jamesbrett9537 thanks for your input, good to hear. Re surfing, yes, for sure, this is definitely the area where hard boards have the advantage. Having said that, the Honu Bondi has certainly changed our perceptions of what can be achieved with inflatable technology in the sup surfing environment. If you like those travel/storage/durability advantages of iSUPs then the Bondi is definitely worth checking out. www.supboardguide.com/honu-bondi-surf-sup-review/

There are indeed many variables. The one being explored here is what the board is made of, as this is one of the most commonly asked questions; what's the difference between hard and inflatable boards. So we're comparing boards of similar style and shape, but in the different constructions. It's impossible to align all the other variables exactly but actually it isn't necessary anyway. By constantly swapping back and forth between the two boards, a picture soon emerges. And if, despite the testers' different weights and paddle styles, no significant performance difference is apparent for either, then that in itself is a worthwhile and useful finding. Likewise, if one of the boards exhibited the same characteristics whichever rider was on it, again it's a solid and useful finding. We actually did far more testing than the bits shown on video here, this has been a long-time ongoing experiment, conducted over dozens of different board pair comparisons. Yet the results are remarkably consistent; certainly enough so to be able to make some pretty solid generalisations.

I've literally just watched 8 SUP instructional videos, not one of them explained how to swap sides with the paddle and paddle holding position, among other things. This video leaves the others for dead, every detail covered perfectly. BTW. Today was my first time on a Sup (65 YO) Kneeled for a bit then stood up. Holy crap felt like my legs had a thousand muscles all firing randomly, but I did it straight away, in a reasonable wind as well. Maybe those years of sailboarding helped. Just learnt so much from this video, can't wait to get out on the water again, to try them out. Thanks again, Subbed and liked. 👍👍

Anyway, the great news is that now you've done that first session it will be a whole lot easier from here on. Hopefully you'll find our other videos useful as you progress into the sport.

Indeed. It's actually an exceptional cross-training tool. Many athletes embrace paddleboarding simply for that. And the great thing about it is that you can step it up as hard as you like. After you've had a few more sessions you'll start to relax into it, and feel a whole lot more at home on the board, and then you can start to increase power, and work up a bit of a sweat (should you choose). Check out our 'how to improve your stand up paddleboarding' vid on this channel to learn more about how to do this properly and efficiently. Have fun!

@supboardguide 3 ай бұрын
Yes the iRocker paddle is another one that can be confusing. However, it does have a clearly visible scoop in the blade, so use that as your indicator. Also, the big ridge running down the top of the blade needs to be forward facing. I'm deliberately not referring to logos seeing as the various iterations of iRocker paddle have some sort of logo in different places, so it's not entirely reliable as a reference. Whereas the scoop and the ridge can be trusted 100%. Hope this helps!

A couple of other useful tips on this topic. We talk in the video about how board size and shape will effect tracking, but fin size and placement also play a role. While changing to a bigger fin should not be seen as a way of compensating for paddle technique issues, there's no doubt that a small fin located at the front of the finbox is definitely going to make holding that straight line more of a challenge. Another tip worth bearing in mind is regarding head position. It’s a well-established rule in boardsports that where your head goes, your board follows. In other words, if you’re looking to the right, your board will tend to turn in that direction - and vice versa. When higher speeds are involved, such as when you’re surfing or downwinding, this becomes really important, indeed critical. It’s almost impossible to crank a really hard surfing turn without leading it with your head. Generally, it’s not such an issue when you’re simply paddling forward in a straight line, as you tend to be naturally looking straight ahead anyway. However, if you’re paddling along beside a friend and turning to face them, then you’re quite likely going to find that you’re also tending to paddle towards them. Another scenario where the ‘head effect’ can be noticeable is if you’re trying to paddle in one direction while keeping an eye on a potential threat/hazard off to one side or the other. Maybe an obstruction in the water, maybe an approaching watercraft. Maybe even an approaching fin! However, simply by looking at it, you might just also be turning your board towards it. Which may well not be the ideal outcome. Looking where you want to go does tend to help take your board there.

You didn't mention the correct height for the paddle... at least a foot higher than yourself...
@supboardguide 4 ай бұрын
Paddle height is a very complicated one, because there are so many variables at play. Board thickness and board width both play a part, as does the actual style of the paddle itself. Small/short bladed paddles need less length than long-bladed paddles. For the full story on paddle height check out our article at www.supboardguide.com/how-to-choose-a-sup-paddle/ However, unless you're on a very thick wide board, a foot higher than yourself would be an extremely long paddle. In our school we start beginners off with paddles around 9" overhead, (aka 'the shaka size') and adjust from there. Most competent paddlers will end up with shorter than that, once they've got their technique right. Paddles for sup surfing nowadays are generally not much taller than head height, and for racing/distance work, 5-8" overhead. Too tall a paddle is disruptive to the stroke, requires a lot more body movement to take it through its cycle, and puts a lot of additional strain on the shoulders.

Excellent tech info. It's been hard to find content like this. Can you tell me what would be the best inflatable for Great Lakes surfing (say 2-6' waves)? I had a Jimmy Styx Extreme Scout that I think was 10'6 or 10'10". It was built like a tank and bulletproof but sort of heavy and it didn't want to turn much with waves, I think partly because it was a single and small fin. I'm now looking at inflatables that are 10'6" x 6" by 31" or 32". I have pretty good balance and am wondering what's best for the back end: rounded mali, squared end, or sharper point. I'm also wondering if I should target something smaller like a 10' versus going to a bigger 11' seeing that inflatables are so lightweight. I'm afraid of going longer for the sake of nosedives in bigger waves and hoping a 3 fin system can make up for the shorter length by tracking better.
@supboardguide 4 ай бұрын
OK, quite a lot to unpack here. Firstly, why do you want 6" thick? Instantly, that's making any sort of proper surfing really hard. You'd be far better off on something 4.7" thick. Also, what sort of weight are you? That's quite an important factor here in making the choice. As for length, for sure, shorter is always going to be better if you want genuine surfing performance. Anything 10' long will give you more than enough tracking, you really don't need any more length. As you say, it just makes nose-catching more likely. (Although ideally, catching waves on an inflatable you really want to be doing an angled take-off anyway, because the board just won't have enough rocker to cope with anything else.). And as for fins, yes absolutely, 3 fin every time, when it comes to surfing. Indeed, it's absolutely crucial on an iSUP. Round tail definitely better than square tail. Again, the over riding point here is that the inflatable board is so thick, that you need all the help you can get in encouraging turning. We are actually just about to post a very detailed review on the new Honu Bondi iSUP surfboard that we are really impressed with, it should be online at www.supboardguide.com in the next week, and that will have a huge amount of detail about iSUP surfing which I think you'll find very useful. You might also want to just have a quick look at our blog article on surfing iSUPs, check out www.supboardguide.com/blog, although that's a bit more generic.

@@supboardguide I'm not looking for something that is 6" thick; rather it seems that's what's most available. I did find a board that is 4" thick and 10' but I guess there I'm concerned about stiffness. I thought I mentioned weight. I'm about 185. Thanks so much for the links!
@supboardguide 4 ай бұрын
Ok cool. Yes, for sure, as you say, the vast majority of iSUPs are 6" thick, and we discuss the reasons why in the vid. And it's not that it's impossible to surf a 6" thick board but you are very much limited in what can be done. Whereas a thinner board does perform so much better. The Red Paddle Co 10'6 Ride that we reference in the vid quite a few times is 4.7" thick and I've surfed that board in 4-6' waves on numerous occasions and had a whole lot of fun on it. Yes, the nose can still stick in if you go straight down the wave when it's steep, but it will go down the line just fine and you can flow some turns together. It has the twin (or three, depending on the year) fin config which works well and a good tail shape too. The difference between that and a 6" board for surfing is dramatic. However, it's still essentially an all round board that you're using for surfing, rather than a board that is actually designed specifically with surfing in mind. Moving on to something like the Honu Bondi 9'5" is another massive improvement again, chalk and cheese really. . Don't buy anything till you've read our review on that, which will be coming out in the next few days.

@@supboardguide how versatile are the fin mounting shapes throughout the industry, and is it possible to do fin mods to up the iSUP surfing game?
@supboardguide 4 ай бұрын
Very good question! Normally the only option for fin customization on iSUPs has been with the center fin if a US finbox has been used. Whereas the side fins are either permanently fixed on, or a proprietary slide-in/click-in system that doesn't really allow any other options (not that there are any anyway). Whereas, again, one of the many reasons we're delighted with the new Honu iSUP surfboards is because the boards have Futures mounts for the side fins, so you have a huge array of options out there. Although the board comes with a really high quality pair of volans side fins anyway. So we're starting to see some progress in this direction. But realistically, brands are unlikely to put high quality side finboxes onto their boards unless the design has some reasonable potential for genuinely proper surfing - which sadly, rules out the vast majority of iSUPs right there.

How to counteract the impact of sideways waves. thanks for any tips you may suggest
@supboardguide 4 ай бұрын
Firstly, it's important to understand that your balance and ability to deal with sideways waves will get better over time and practice. However, concentrating on keeping your head up, so you're not looking down, and most importantly of all, keeping paddling, will make a huge difference. You get a major amount of stability from your paddling - when your paddle is in the water during the power phase of the stroke, it is effectively acting as a third point of contact, helping you stabilise and balance. The size of your board will also have some impact on this; if you're on too narrow a board then side chop is much harder to deal with. But as said, practice is the best thing, while keeping your head up and maintaining your paddling. Hope this helps, best of luck!

Yes, it should be fine, assuming it's also reasonably wide in the nose and tail as well. (As we discuss in the video, it's not just maximum width, the plan shape matters also, particularly when it comes to determining stability.). If you're going to be carrying a whole lot of weight when you go fishing (food, drink, tackle, clothes etc!), or indeed you're planning on catching a whole lot of fish, you may want to go a bit wider still. But overall, 34" would be a sensible starting point, for sure.
