Stand up paddleboarding<\/a>, or SUP, is a water activity that involves moving upright on a board using a paddle. Paddle boarding can be practiced on different bodies of water, but the ocean offers a unique and enriching experience. Whether it’s to enjoy the landscape, the marine fauna, the waves or the wind, paddle boarding on the ocean is a complete activity that solicits the body and mind. But how do you paddle on the ocean<\/b> safely and with fun? Here are some tips, techniques and recommendations to help you get started on this journey.<\/p>\n Paddle boarding is a sport accessible to everyone, regardless of level or age. It has many advantages and benefits, both physically and mentally:<\/p>\n Before going paddle boarding on the ocean, you need to prepare yourself properly and equip yourself with the right equipment. Here are the essential things to check before you get in the water:<\/p>\n Check the weather forecast for wind, waves, tides, air and water temperature. Choose conditions that suit your level and goal. Avoid stormy, foggy or heavy swell days. To start, we advise you to choose a day when the wind is very light and there are no waves. This way, it will be easier for you to find your feet and have fun. <\/p>\n Find out about the navigation and safety rules in force at the spot you have chosen. Respect the permitted areas, priorities, distances and instructions of local authorities. Do not sail beyond 300 meters from the shore if your board is less than 3.50 meters in length.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Choose a board adapted to your size, your level and the type of practice you want to do. There are rigid or inflatable boards, more or less wide, long or thick. In general, the wider, longer and thicker the board, the more stable and easier it is to handle. The narrower, shorter and thinner it is, the faster and more responsive it is. If you want a paddle board that is easy to transport to the sea, we recommend an inflatable stand-up paddle board. Lightweight and space-saving, inflatable boards offer excellent glide, as long as they are of high quality. <\/p>\n Choose a paddle that suits your size<\/b>, board, and paddling style. There are fixed or adjustable paddles, made of aluminum, fiberglass or carbon. In general, the lighter, stiffer and more ergonomic the paddle, the better and more comfortable it is. The ideal length of a paddle is about 15 to 20 centimeters above your head.<\/p>\n The leash<\/b> , on the other hand, is a cord that connects your ankle to your board. It is mandatory to paddle on the ocean. It ensures that you don’t lose your board in the event of a fall or strong wind. Choose a solid leash that is adapted to the sailing conditions.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The vest is a piece of safety equipment that helps you float in case of immersion. It is recommended for paddleboarding on the ocean, especially if you are not comfortable in the water or if you are sailing far from the shore. There are life jackets or buoyancy aid vests, more or less thick and bulky depending on the level of buoyancy. Choose a comfortable, approved vest.<\/p>\n You can also wear a jumpsuit. It is a garment that protects you from the cold, the sun and friction. It is advisable to wear a wetsuit when paddleboarding on the ocean, especially if the water is cold or if you plan to stay on the water for a long time. There are full-body suits or shorties, more or less thick and flexible depending on the temperature of the water. <\/p>\n There are other accessories that can be useful for paddleboarding on the ocean, such as a waterproof bag or bottle, a GPS watch, an on-board camera, a windbreaker, a cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc. Choose the accessories according to your needs and desires.<\/p>\n To paddle on the ocean, you need to master the basic techniques to paddle and move efficiently. Here are the main points to know:<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Paddleboarding on the ocean is not without risk. Therefore, there are a few essential rules to follow and take certain precautions to avoid accidents and incidents. Here are the main tips to follow:<\/p>\n If you’re in the mood for thrills and pure gliding, you can try paddle surfing on the ocean. This discipline consists of surfing standing on a wave with the help of a paddle. Unlike traditional surfing, paddle surfing is more affordable for beginners, as there is no need to get up on the board. All you have to do is anticipate the breaking of the wave and accompany its movement with the paddle.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t If you want even more thrills, you can try sup foil<\/a>, a variant of paddle surfing that uses a board equipped with an underwater wing-shaped fin. The sup foil allows you to fly above the water and surf smaller or softer waves. However, it requires more technique and balance than classic paddle surfing. It’s all about surfing the waves on a paddle but with a foil under the board that allows you to fly above the water. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t To paddle on the ocean, you need to choose a spot adapted to your level and your goal. There are paddle spots for all tastes, whether it’s for a leisurely walk, a sporty hike or surfing.<\/p>\n Here are some tips for choosing the right spot and the best conditions for paddle boarding on the ocean:<\/p>\n Learn about wind, waves, tides, air and water temperatures. Choose conditions that suit your level and goal. Avoid stormy, foggy or heavy swell days.<\/p>\n Find out about the navigation and safety rules in force at the spot you have chosen. Respect the permitted areas, priorities, distances and instructions of local authorities. Do not sail more than 300 meters from the shore (if your board is less than 3.50 meters in length).<\/p>\n Depending on whether you want to paddle ride, paddle touring or paddle surfing, you will not choose the same type of spot. For paddle boarding, choose calm and sheltered bodies of water, such as bays, lagoons or estuaries. For paddle touring, opt for more open and varied bodies of water, such as rocky coasts, islands or capes. To paddle surf, look for wave spots adapted to your level, neither too big nor too small.<\/p>\n Be careful not to disturb the marine fauna and flora during your paddle boarding. Avoid protected areas, such as nature reserves or marine areas. Don’t leave trash behind and don’t pick up shells or corals.<\/p>\n Paddle boarding on the ocean is a complete activity that engages the body and mind. To progress and take full advantage of this experience, it is important to train regularly and do specific exercises.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n Paddle boarding on the ocean is a water activity that offers many advantages and benefits.<\/b> Whether it’s to enjoy the landscape, the marine fauna, the waves or the wind, paddle boarding on the ocean is a complete activity that solicits the body and mind.
