SUP tips: Keep feet from going numb & moving around on a Stand Up Paddle board

[@lizdg3892]

Ok this is perfect. I went my first time and fell in love. But yeah my feet were killing me. I figured I was white knuckling the wheel sore of speak. I picked up a beautiful glass board and carbon fiber paddle on fb mp love them. Thanks again for you tutorial. It addressed my issue. Spot on. 🎉

[@blueplanetsurf]

Fantastic, enjoy!

[@QuadView]

Waterproof mic!!! So thankful for all your great videos.

[@blueplanetsurf]

It’s actually not waterproof, no falling in! 🙏😎🤙🏼

[@swilliamson4566]

Thanks for info! All the little tricks help especially numb feet.

[@vlaaady]

Excellent advice. In fact when the legs get tired it is harder to balance too.

[@blueplanetsurf]

That’s true! 🤙🏼

[@rollandb1767]

Today was my first day on a sup. Thank you for your video.

Cough my first wave yesterday, the nose crashed into the Atlantic and I followed parrellel to the board happy times

[@themusicofnewyork1570]

Can't wait to try it out this weekend! Just started a couple of weeks ago and it is SO MUCH FUN. My board looks like twice as wide as yours though

[@blueplanetsurf]

😎👍Aloha🤙🏼

[@toviaalefosio412]

Awesome, very very helpful..... thank you so much from Sydney Australia

[@blueplanetsurf]

Glad to hear it helped you, Aloha!

[@stevethomas760]

Excellent video! Watched another video on moving around on the board and no mention of getting to the centerline of the board. I did figure it out after a few dips.Thanks, Steve Thomas

[@blueplanetsurf]

+steve thomas the boat crew had help from a surgeon that was on another boat and came over to help. They did a good job, Pete's lip looked pretty good by the end of the trip.

[@gemini2261]

Great tips, I thought it was just my old feet! 👍🏽

Cheers, great advice. Thanks from the UK :-)

[@blueplanetsurf]

You are welcome, Aloha!

[@kittyslyfox4180]

Thank you so much for this vid it’s given me so much more to think about on how to perfect my paddling and make my experiment more flawless and less wet😂

[@blueplanetsurf]

It's always rewarding to get this type of feedback. Mahalo!

[@AUTUMN-DARK]

Thanks after my first solo day out having fun and getting confident standing I got the numb feet thing... This was exactly what I needed to here and will practice the moves tomorrow 👍... I'll likely fall in trying them first time round but that's OK 😂

[@blueplanetsurf]

just relaxing and wiggling your toes helps a lot!

[@Tipperary757]

Thank you!!!

[@scotttownley5076]

great video thanks

[@blueplanetsurf]

Stoked you liked it!

[@theaprum1]

Very useful stuff, thanks.

[@blueplanetsurf]

🙏🤙🏼

[@edsinofsky]

thanks for the awesome tips. I needed help in all these areas. My feet are getting numb after an hour of flat water paddling. I will try these techniques next time I go out. Mahalo!

[@blueplanetsurf]

+Ed Sinofsky thank you for the comment, I hope it helps, just keep your feet moving and active so they don't go numb.

[@michaelmerrills576]

Still can’t figure out why parallel is suggested stance when every other sport that involves balance has more stable position (staggered, surf, boxing, etc.

[@blueplanetsurf]

When paddling straight, the toes forward stance is the most efficient and easier to balance side to side but if you catch a wave, you switch to surf stance.

[@blueplanetsurf]

It will make sense after doing it a few times

[@jasonsmith8567]

how wide is that board ?

[@blueplanetsurf]

+Jason Smith it is the 14 foot by 28" wide Bump Rider model

[@nilknarf483]

At 1:29 you moved your feet with a different method which I imagined would be the correct way to move your feet.

[@blueplanetsurf]

As you can see in the video at 1;29, unweighting one foot at a time makes the board tip back and forth which makes it much harder to balance, try using small hops instead, it works much better.

[@slothsloth4651]

this was slightly helpful thanks dude.. now fall in!

[@Johnny-wy9lv]

Ok boomer

[@heatherm8261]

Would it be accurate to assume that wearing water shoes would help prevent numbness? My paddle arrives on Tuesday so I haven't had a chance to try out my theory.

[@blueplanetsurf]

+Heather M Shoes might help with arch support and padding but the same things apply- relax the toes and move your feet/ shift your weight to keep the blood flowing in the feet to avoid numbness and sore muscles in the feet.

E quindi?
