Learning to Stand Up Paddle Board Reminds Me of Learning to Skate

Here is a video of me getting the hang of stand up paddleboarding at Palmer Lake 9-3-17.

Learning to SUP reminds me of when I teach beginning adult ice skaters....at first you want to stay near the shore and look down just like a beginning adult want to hang on the rail and look down at their skates.

I watched a lot of YouTube videos on how to SUP and it says to just go down on your knees or sit on the board when you feel you need to which reminded me of when I tell new ice skaters to go into the dip position if they feel a fall is coming!
