Heat Score - 65
As much as getting into a wave is important to standup paddle surfing, getting out of a wave can be just as critical. Knowing the ways to get out of a wave can help you avoid running into objects and other paddlers/surfers, get you back out to the lineup quicker, and instill more confidence in your agility among the waves. Once you're in a wave, getting out of a wave can be relatively easy. Here are a few methods from SUP surfing expert, Sean Poynter. Read more HERE.
4. How SUP Yoga Makes You a Better Racer
Heat Score - 77
A huge part of paddle boarding is all about balance. When you’re paddle boarding, you’re standing on board balanced in the water.

3. Paddle Boarding Vancouver, British Columbia
Heat Score - 83
Vancouver, British Columbia is widely regarded as one of the prettiest and most comfortable places in North America to spend time outdoors. Granted it’s fairly far north, so it’s quite cold for much of the year. But from spring through the early fall season, it’s mostly lovely outside, and as a result it’s something of a haven for travelers seeking outdoor activity. This includes some sport and action and, getting to the point, paddle boarding! Read more HERE.
2. Preparing For Your Winter SUP Escapades

If nothing can get in the way of you and your board, make sure you are ready for winter by keeping the following considerations in mind! Read more HERE.
