Top Paddle Board Lessons related questions

Stand-up paddleboards use paddles to move on the water, while surfing uses the surfer’s body while riding a wave. Paddleboards are also much bigger, longer, and thicker, which makes them stable but less responsive. That’s why SUP is better used in calm waters. Surfboards are shorter, lighter, and less stable, making them perfect for riding with and along the waves. This makes SUP much easier to learn than surfing.

Paddleboarding is a safe sport, provided that you follow all the safety precautions, use the correct equipment, and go out in proper conditions. Since paddleboarding is usually done in still, calm waters, it’s much safer than surfing and wakeboarding. Of course, you still need to apply basic water safety rules, such as wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) or buoyancy aid and avoiding paddleboarding alone, after dark, and in extreme conditions.

It’s an excellent workout because it offers a range of benefits. It trains your upper body, works your legs, and strengthens your core. It’s also a low-impact workout, so it cuts down the risk of injury on your knees and joints. It may not be as intense as your workouts at the gym, but it generally burns twice the calories of a moderately-paced walk on a treadmill. Immersing yourself in nature while exercising is another bonus!

Toddlers can be exposed to paddle boarding when you bring them on the board and sit with you. They can learn how to stand on the board and paddle as early as five years old. Seniors as old as 70 can also learn and enjoy paddleboarding! As long as you are able-bodied and enjoy the waters, age doesn’t matter.

You should have the proper clothing for your paddleboarding lessons, such as a swimsuit, board shorts, rash guard, or wetsuit. Aside from that, you also need a paddle board, paddle, PFD, safety whistle, and leash. If you don’t have these on hand, you can ask your Tasker for store recommendations, or your Tasker can drop by a store and buy them for you.

Paying for your paddle board lessons can be done either via cash or through Airtasker Pay for cashless transactions. The frequency of payment depends on you and your agreement with your Tasker. Before jumping into your paddleboard lessons, make sure to discuss whether you want to pay your Tasker every after session, every week, or every month.

What do paddle board lessons include?

Paddle board lessons include teaching you the fundamentals, from safety awareness to advanced paddling techniques. This is perfect, especially for those who are looking for more ways to improve their fitness level! Your instructor can hold lessons at a nearby beach or anywhere you prefer! Here are a few things to expect when booking paddle board lessons near you:

Paddle board lessons for kids

Put aside your child’s electronics and introduce them to the beautiful outdoors through stand-up paddleboard lessons near you! Your instructor helps your child learn to paddleboard while practising utmost safety. Depending on how young your child is, they can either be sitting or paddling on the board, with the instructor guiding them. They can start with practice paddles on land and then on flat waters until they’re comfortable. Your instructor can make your child’s paddleboard experience even more fun by letting them pick out a cool landmark that they see from afar so they can paddle and see it up close.

Stand-up paddleboarding is one of the fastest-growing water sports. Before enrolling your child in paddleboard lessons, make sure they’re comfortable in the water by hiring an instructor to teach them basic swimming and floating techniques.

Paddle board lessons for beginners

Taskers can also facilitate paddleboard lessons for adult beginners! They can start teaching you how to get geared up for SUP, how to stand up and stay balanced, and how to hold an SUP paddle. SUP paddle board lessons also introduce you to different SUP strokes, such as forward stroke, reverse stroke, and sweep stroke. One of the critical things you need to know is how to get back on the board when you lose balance and fall in the water! That’s inevitable, but to lessen the chances, you can hire a personal trainer to help you improve your balance and strengthen your body!

Advanced paddle board lessons

Once you’ve learned to stand up on a paddleboard, you’d probably want to take your skills to the next level! In advanced paddle board lessons, you’ll get to refine the basic paddleboarding skills you’ve acquired, as well as learn advanced techniques. This includes running turns, acceleration movements, bracing, off-side strokes, and other manoeuvres on your board. Your instructor can also help you get familiarised with specialised skills such as running small standing waves, ferries, and eddy turns.
