How To SUP Surf: SUP Surfing Stances Explained!

[@kirill_gusev]

Thank you for putting this together. Good clear instructions, I'm sure it will help me as I noticed I have a tendency of sinking the tail a lot and to avoid it have to stay at the center of the board.

Glad it was helpful!

[@tonymcgovern5870]

Great advice, I haven’t seen anyone else mention lowering your height as you move to the back of the board, thank you 👍

Super video

[@markgransbury8377]

Great vid! When should you move the feet with respect to the wave eg step 3 when the board is only going down the face?

[@maukalodge]

Great question. I personally move to step 3 just as the wave starts to lift my boards tail, so once you feel that push from the wave, just slide your back foot back (widening your stance) to surf stance, while mantaining your weight over your front leg (SUPER IMPORTANT not to miss the wave, has explained on step 4) which allows you to keep on paddling and then taking it with ease. Step 4 comes only once the board is going and you initiate the drop (the moment you feel you're dropping and that you dont need to paddle anymore to get it going, which occurs on the first third of the wave face).
