Met dit aanhoudend winter weer maar snel een nieuwe Lazy Sunday's video boven gehaald, enjoy en hopelijk mogen we binnenkort mooie warme sessies verwachten!

Last week, So Cal had good waves and epic weather for mid january, so we dusted off the water housing and got a few clips from our session at Dog Patch. Check out the video at

Het lijkt erop dat iedereen een super tijd had!

Enkele tips voor wie wil starten met SUPen in de golven en de techniek nog niet volledig onder de knie heeft. Met onderstaande tips, van de Zen Waterman site, zal je al een heel eind verder komen....

ou were probably wondering when I would finally get around to how to catch and surf waves on a SUP.  Ideally, everyone would learn the basics first before even attempting to go into the surf to catch waves.  Unfortunately many head straight into the surf without basic skills and little knowledge of surfing etiquette.  I hope you are not one of them.  Please make sure you have a good grasp of all the basic skills covered in the first 6 technique posts and knowledge of surfing etiquette before even thinking about catching waves, especially if there are others in the waves with you.

I worked with a class from Hawaii Pacific College that made these videos as part of their business school projects.

This first one is about how to catch a wave and how you want to approach the wave differently when you are Stand Up Paddling than when you are surfing without a paddle:


This video is about switching your stance from parallel stance to surf stance as you are catching the wave:


This video is about how to use your paddle on the wave for balance and turning:


Thanks for watching.  Again, please remember to make sure you first master the basic concepts of SUP before attempting to go into the surf zone:
