How To Stand Up Paddle In Wind & Waves | Upwind Downwind SUP Board in Choppy Water & Rail Steering 

Where I live, almost nobody would go out on a day like this... this is hard core paddling...

Much appreciated a real world instructional video. Thank you.

Just found your channel, great videos, keep them up!

really impressed you punched through that wind and made good headway

I'm still new, but I find going into the wind is not so bad, just because I can see what's coming and brace myself for whatever chaotic waves are attacking me. Turning around and going downwind, I can't see what's coming up behind me and crash instantly. I guess maybe I need to paddle faster or something. For now I just head out standing up, and do the return trip on my knees.

Very nice footage! Very inspiring. Can’t wait to go and paddle myself !

I actually thought you were being pulled bu a boat! Great footage. Respect for both your skill and the great vid!!!

I never seen an exciting and thrilling sup video like this!

Very good tips & nice video footage!

curious of board recommendations for chop? nice tips!

Great video !! Thanks

Love your style! Happy to see you use the Chris Black paddle. Please tell me about your board?

Watching this and being where she is at I'll have my board leash, floating paddle and pfd with whistle.

Hi my friend just brought a SUP and we both had a go on it separately of course and we live in Portsmouth. My friend checked the tide times etc but neither of us was expecting to see rough seas so having two beginners trying to kneel let along stand with crashing waves was abit of a disaster. I told my friend who is not from the area that emsworth opposite hayling would be a good location with shallow water and calm water would be a good starting point. My question is can you safely paddle board in rough seas or best to wait for the water to be calm and how far out can you go. I myself don’t actually like going out of my depth

After watching this I realized how important to have a leash on your board maybe paddle or floating kind and pfd with whistle.

Very helpful tips. Just curious, as an experienced paddle boarder, how often do you usually fall off the board in these choppy windy conditions? How thick of a wetsuit do you wear in the winter months, or would you wear a dry suit instead?

Interesting video, impressed with your upwind progress. I did wonder why you were using such a basic paddle?

The real question in my mind right now is how is this being filmed from the front ?

Thanks for the video....what board are you using? Thanks!

What is that last app with the surf, swell and wind? I've been looking for something like that.
