- Stand Up Paddle tips: How to keep your feet and toes from going numb or cramping when paddling and how to move around the board without making the board rock back and fourth and becoming unstable. If you are a beginner and have sore feet or have trouble moving around the board without losing balance, this video will help you! Please subscribe to our channel and also watch our SUP tips for beginners playlist. Aloha!
Tips covered in this video:
1) Avoid "gripping" the board with your toes. Relax your toes by wiggling them and remind yourself to relax the muscles in your feet to avoid fatigue and cramping in your feet. This is very common for beginners struggling with balancing on the board
2) Keep blood flowing in your feet. Shift your weight front to back and side to side to get the blood flowing and and keep your feet from going numb.
3) Un-weigh both feet to move around board: move around with little jumps to avoid rocking the board when moving around
4) Surf Stance to trim board: Get into the surf stance with both feet on the center line of the board to easily move backwards and forwards on the board without rocking side to side.

Very useful stuff, thanks.
🙏🤙🏼
Exactly what I needed and what they don't tell you..
Thanks! 🙏😎🤙🏼
Thank you
You're welcome
great video thanks
Stoked you liked it!
Excellent advice. In fact when the legs get tired it is harder to balance too.
That’s true! 🤙🏼
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
+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.
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😂
It's always rewarding to get this type of feedback. Mahalo!
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 😂
just relaxing and wiggling your toes helps a lot!
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
😎👍Aloha🤙🏼
Good tips thanks..
Glad you found a the tips helpful 🤙🏼
Cough my first wave yesterday, the nose crashed into the Atlantic and I followed parrellel to the board happy times
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!
+Ed Sinofsky thank you for the comment, I hope it helps, just keep your feet moving and active so they don't go numb.
👍
🤙🏼
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.
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.
It will make sense after doing it a few times
how wide is that board ?
+Jason Smith it is the 14 foot by 28" wide Bump Rider model
this was slightly helpful thanks dude.. now fall in!
Ok boomer
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.
+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.
At 1:29 you moved your feet with a different method which I imagined would be the correct way to move your feet.
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.
E quindi?
Little jumps? no one told me i was to fat in the ass for this but im 6'3 260lbs and it aint easy
It’s not easy but with the right board you can do it, make sure the board is over 35” wide and has more than 250 L volume for your weight and height and you should be fine.
Little jumps are more advanced but you will get there with practice
