Thank you, guys. Love your content
I caught it!!!! Thank you soooo much 😍😍😍 I am using the exact same board you show in this vid and today it happened. 🏄♀️ Your videos are invaluable.🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic.. Great to hear it.
That was A LOT smoother than my first few waves!! Ha ha ha. Thankfully I wasn't recording, back in the day!
Super helpful! This video prepared me for my first time SUP surfing on those tiny waves in florida last week. Thank you!
Just take your time and work your way up to bigger waves.
As usual, an incredibly informative video.
Glad you liked it! Thanks, Beau

You guys will love it, thanks for the subscription guys.
Catching waves with an ISUP is freaking hard !!! But getting there thanks again for your videos
Its harder full sure. This video will help too ruclips.net/video/kCWgvRy1NfQ/видео.html .Just remember paddle straight towards the beach when catching the wave. And put a lot of weight through your back leg over the fins of the board, when on the wave. Thanks Reuben / SUPboarder
Caught my first sup wave today, came here for more pointers. Instantly subscribed
Great to hear! Thanks for subscribing. Beau
I’m just starting sup. Wow this is friggin ace
Great stuff. We Stephen there's probably about 30 hrs of SUP video content on our RUclips channel and on SUPboarder and SUPboarder Pro. So have fun. And any questions let us know.
Hey,
is the board, you are using in the video, especially for sup and surfing or just a "normal" surfboard or a "normal" sup board? I am thinking about buying board for sup for my vacation, including a week at the sea and other lakes. Thanks for your response and keep uploading videos!
Hey David . This is an inflatable surfing SUP board made by Shark SUP. There's loads of boards that will work for what you want. You're best off having a read on our website for more information on SUP and the boards you can buy and what would be best for you. www.supboardermag.com .
Hey isnt that a fanatic Hard board, not an inflatable shark? 😅
Kim Neve O dear!! You are right. LOL... I must of got confused with all our other youtube videos. O well there's a first for everything. Thanks for the comment ans spotting this one. Nice one Kim. Reuben / SUPboarder
Idea for next video - Surf weather cast - how to read , what's app you use and how to predict correctly what will be wether tomorrow as wind , wave and etc.
Ok there are some good post on the SUPboarder site that may help a bit too. But we will add it to the video list. www.supboardermag.com/2016/08/09/off-shore-shore-shore/
I'm trying to learn how to do this, and I appreciate the advice. One thing I've noticed is that when I paddle very hard on one side of the board to catch a wave, it starts to turn. I've been trying to anticipate that by starting to paddle for the wave while the board is parallel to the wave. By the time the wave arrives, the board has turned straight towards the shore and I have a better chance of catching it. Timing the whole thing is tricky though. Sometimes it doesn't turn enough and I miss the wave. Other times it turns too much and I miss the wave.
Hi David. This is a hard thing to get right. What we will do is make a video for you, I'm sure many other paddlers would find it very useful too. 'How to paddle straight to catch a wave'. We will start working on this video very soon. There are a few simple tips that will help you. Subscribe and keep an eye out for it. Thanks Reuben
Thank you!! I totally tried to stay front facing!
Glad you liked this video. Keep it up! Cheers, Beau
Very helpful. Please tell me the ideal paddle length for a beginner?
Hey Dimitris. Paddle length in the surf. Start of with it about 2-3"above your head. Thanks Reuben
Can I do this with the inflatable SUP? 11' length 32" wide? It is an all around board I bought on amazon
Yes you can. Tip for you is...move your bodyweight a little bit further back ie, just behind the handle. This will help an iSUP Initiate the back and Fin of the board which will make it easier to surf when you start. Also watch this video of ours ruclips.net/video/kCWgvRy1NfQ/видео.html . Hope that helps Reuben
Where is your video filmed at? The waves look really good for beginners.
This spot is local to the SUPboarder studio in Cornwall, England. Hope the video helped?
Yes it's great! Thank you.
@@SUPboardermag hi. Would you recommand cornwall for easy sup surf during summer time or is it better to go to Ireland?
@@antoine78150 Both Ireland and Cornwall can produce some great waves to learn to SUP surf. I would say that Ireland will be a little less busy. Thanks Reuben
@@SUPboardermag I forgot england has surfing in the first place but obviously it would.
Can you add a video that covers the 'J' Stroke in the different stances?
Thanks for request Bill we will add it to the content list.
My board is an inflatable SUP. Let’s hope I can work it the same way
It will work the same way. The only thing you should do any different would be put a little bit more weight over your back foot. Have you seen other video we have made ruclips.net/video/kCWgvRy1NfQ/видео.html thanks Reuben
I‘ve been trying to move to surf stance for a while on the wave without success.
Hi Leo, thanks for asking. We have some other videos to look at for getting into SUP stance. supboardermag.com/what-are-you-interested-in/?_keywords=surf+stance
We'd suggest some land training using balance tools or using a bigger board to get started as this helps with balance. A key tip would be to keep your knees bent, keep your chest low and weight up your front foot.
Hope these tips help you next time. Thanks, Beau
is that plymouth i can see in the background ?

thanks
I imagine you should start here before trying out the foil?
Yes absolutely
@@SUPboardermag I have a cheap inflatable SUP from Costco. Should I use that or grab something used from say FB marketplace? If so, around how much should I spend as a beginner?
So you guys are right on... NOT ONCE DID YOU SWEEP while surfing the wave. Big point beginners. When your riding do not sweep or paddle/hack as your on the wave. YOU ARE not going to gain speed.Yes you can paddle to connect a section. But please surf the wave do not sweep it..Great beginner video.
I hear you David, yes many beginners do tend to do this. TBH because you have highlighted this maybe we could also make a video to talk about this more. Thanks Reuben
How do inflatable SUP‘s handle the ocean?
Het Russ. Inflatables (iSUPs) handle open seas quality well. But a stiffer inflatable SUP will feel much nicer then an iSUP that bends more. Nose shape also makes a difference to how the board handles ocean conditions. They wont feel as nice as a hard composite board but the better iSUPs on the market do work well in most conditions. Thanks Reuben.
What about a $800 18psi inflatable sup? Is that good enough for the ocean?
A board that takes 18psi will probably have a good amount of stiffness and be fine for most open ocean paddling conditions. Thanks Reuben
is it just me or is the paddle the wrong way round?
Hey Dan . Its a funny one a? The paddle is angled forward to help your reach and pull your self through along the water. If you turn it round it pulls to much water upwards. I hope that helps? Reuben
@@SUPboardermag thanks, it looked like the scoop was the other way round. Was wondering if I'd been doing it wrong 😂. Cheers for the reply
Don't forget to start with an inflatable USP. Why? Do you want to loose a couple of teeth when you fall and hit your face on a hard board? Of course no...So use an inflatable for practice, they are quite "cheap" and very close to a hardboard...
You are right that using and inflatable paddleboard is better if you end up hitting it. But the ironic thing is it's actually harder to catch waves and control the board when on a wave, then using a harder composite board because of the lack of rail shape and bottom rocker. So you will end up failing off more on a iSUP. But yes if you want to be safer going do the iSUP route is best. Good comment.
Thanks Reuben
Ps if anybody wants any tips to catching waves with an iSUP this video will help ruclips.net/video/kCWgvRy1NfQ/видео.html
