The step back turn / pivot turn // How to SUP videos

The Step Back Turn is a really useful, fast turn to master. Whether on a race board or surf SUP, it's a great turning method to get you quickly around those race buoys or infront of that fast approaching wave. It takes a bit of practice and you’re likely to get wet when you first try, but it's well worth the effort.

Glad they helped.

Bravo! That Red Elite board is the most tippiest sup board I've ever tried. You're doing great job step balancing on it!

[@SUPboardermag]

Yeah right it's a tippy one. Practice makes perfect.

TBH this is a very old video and the turn was found about 10 years before that. Before music sharing sites were even a thing lol. Sorry I have no idea any more. Reuben

[@codysphotography9716]

I've got the sup fishing pattle bored do you think it's too wide to do this

[@SUPboardermag]

No, you can do a step back turn on any size board. You just might need to step further back on bigger boards.

[@rubber_face8410]

As a not so heavy person, I can say that this is quite hard.

[@SUPboardermag]

Really heard to nail this turn - even at an advanced level. Keep trying though! We have some mini challenges coming out soon, so keep an eye out for them to improve your skills! Thanks, Beau

[@Aleks_iz_Gadykino]

На самом деле, не так уж и сложно, главное побольше практики.

[@rubber_face8410]

@@Aleks_iz_Gadykino Yes, still but the weight acts a role too.

[@gcziko]

How do you turn to your front side. Right turn in this video with normal foot.

[@SUPboardermag]

Thanks for your comment. We go over all that on the SUPboarder Pro video of this turn. But the basic principle is feet in same stance but paddle on your backside to turn Right in normal stance.

[@Chaseaction-outdoor-activities]

nice!!

[@placetobelong]

Is this possible with an isup?

[@SUPboardermag]

It will for sure. But look out for a video we will have live in a few weeks where we go over it with basic isups boards.

[@anneliseb7041]

I ve finally been able to do it after 2 days of practice with my kangui isup. Thanks for the video tho. Ive tried on my own witout watching videos first and lets say that i spent most of my time in the water lol

[@SUPboardermag]

We're really glad the tips helped.

[@CraigBittner19]

The board he in the video is an iSUP. Notice the bar across the middle running to the nose? That is to keep it stiff.

[@SUPboardermag]

Hey Craig, It sure does, check out the review we do of this board a few years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/oamkqJqmjL-grrc . Makes a real difference to stiffness for sure. Thanks Reuben / SUPboarder

[@olibolton4633]

I tried this on my massive board that's too big and lost balance, I could do with some more practise😂

[@SD_L]

OK... Crazy question, but I've never seen "my turns" anwhere, so I'm asking.... For my part, I stay in the middle of my board, put a huge outside "backward" paddling on the side I am, like a big "C" shape (it stops the forward glide and start the rotation, and then, I change side and give the same "big one C mirrored" in order to finish my turn and start gliding in the opposite side) A kinda what we did when I was rowing and we have to go back. Am I crazy ?

[@SUPboardermag]

Hey Sarah, There's no wrong or right when it comes to paddleboarding. If your turn works for you, great. But the problem with doing any sort of backward paddling during a turn is, if you go into the turn at speed you're not using that forward momentum you've made to help you do the turn. The type of turn your talking about does get used in many race events too. But when you get the hang of the Stepback turn it will be faster for sure. Also remember when you join SUPboarderPro you can send us your videos to be analyzed by our experts to help you get the most out of your paddling. www.supboardermag.com/2018/01/05/get-involved-new-supboarder-pro-video-breakdowns/

[@olibolton4633]

Funny, I have an 11 foot board that is made for 100kg, I am 60kg since it shared with family, I'm not heavy enough to sink my massive board😂😂

[@SUPboardermag]

Yes this can be a problem. Getting back on the tail as much as possible will help.

A surfboard with training wheels. I don't get it.

[@brekbrek7869]

What a pointless comment, its not a surfboard, its a standup paddle board. I use mine on rivers, lakes and close shore ocean, not the slightest interest in surfing on it. I have a surfboard for that.

[@anneliseb7041]

@@brekbrek7869 stand up paddle surfing is actually awesome. And unlike with a surf board you dont need to wait for big waves to have some fun. You can catch any waves with a sup from big to tiny waves
