How to Get Back Onto a Paddleboard

In this video, we're going to take a look at how to get back onto your SUP from the water in case you fall off or decide you want to jump in to take a swim.

Thank you.
I fell off the first time today.
It took me a while to get back on and I was tired These tips will help!
I see where I made it harder

Great information for getting back on the board! Yesterday I tried paddle boarding for the first time and I fell off and it felt impossible to get back on. The problem I was having was my legs were drifting under the board and I was perpendicular/ vertical instead of parallel like your video explains. Thanks!!

please ask someone heavy tall and 50+ to present this method... it is a nighmare. 30y+ of surfing and no comfortable return technology ;)

But you can also just sit/knee on it and paddle

Proč neukazuje pravou realitu jak se nasedá a jak jezdí obyčejní lidé. Vždy ukazuje že jen vysportované lidi a Lakate prodeji, ale pravou realitu neukažete. Že je to v celku slozité.

Yesterday was one of the most terrifying day of my life! It was first time for me to try paddling at the beach.. everything at first went smoothling..but once I wanted to turn my paddle didn't want to turn back .. so I keeper going deep till I reached the biiig waves 🌊🌊 I thought I'm going to die till someone saw me and help me to get back.. so thankful 🙏

Thank you! I'm trying SUP next Sunday for the first time. At 59 yes old 😳. I'm nervous, but it's been on my bucket list forever.

Too short. Can you show big guy (with big belly and PFD) in doing this?

You need to correct your statement of preferring the board over the paddle, sometimes you dont get a choice. The paddle can be used with "swimming strokes" to chase your board, Ski, Canoe or Kayak for that matter.

I’m a little concerned that an ACA instructional video has the two people demonstrating the techniques without lifejackets. 🤨 It would also be helpful to see what it’s like doing it with the recommended life jacket on.

As NEW iSUP paddlers...we're experiencing all the challenges. I've managed to get up from the side or back without trouble, but my gf has has more difficulty due to shorter arms and her built in top flotation which get in the way...imagine many women experience this situation. Nonetheless, we're getting better at both standing, balancing and falling in...and LOVING the experience every time we go out for a few hours...Thanks for a great video!

How do those little life preservers work, since I expected them to self inflate upon hitting the water ?

This is the best video I watched to date on getting onto a board from the water. Nicely done. Thank you! I will use it as part of my SUP instruction.

I recently fell off my SUP in choppy waters. When. I attempted. To reboard it, the board turned completely over. Result smooth underside with the fins expose. There was no way iI could get back on. Fortunately other sup boarders were there to help. It was very scarey. Any advice welcome.
