BuddyRequiredOpen water
  • Leash Always

    Attach leash before launching — board drifts faster than you can swim in wind.

  • Paddle Length

    Adjust paddle so handle reaches wrist with arm overhead — wrong length strains shoulders.

  • Offshore Wind

    Avoid paddling downwind on offshore breezes — return paddle against wind is exhausting.

Safety Notes

  • Fall clear of board edges.
  • Avoid yoga in current or boat traffic.
