Customer Reviews

Pretty Darn Good
A pretty good DVD giving the viewer the basics so they won't look like a complete fool when hitting the water for the first time. Some things I would disagree with, but more because of style rather than their information being "wrong". There is a fair amount of paddling footage spliced in, so if you condensed it down to just the instructional material, it would probably be about 30 min.

Still, it is probably the best SUP instructional DVD out right now.

There is also some good footage from the 2007 Steinlager SUP competition as a bonus!

And, as an aside, BE CAREFUL OF THOSE AROUND YOU!!! I've seen a number of accidents out here--both SUP vs. swimmer and SUP vs. surfer. Not because the SUPer was being malicious or mean, they just didn't know any better and couldn't control the huge board. If that keeps up, SUPs are going to be banned from most areas.

HOT STUFF
Excellent high end production with multi camera angles- I felt like I was actually on the board learning..- I am just geting into SUP and the DVD helped me progress really quick especially with board control.

Nice SUP action in- between to break instruction. Instruction really good and I would obviously recommend it more for new riders than for advanced riders.
great stuff and look forward to Part 2.

better info available elsewhere
I received this as a gift a few weeks after I bought my board. By that time, my knowledge and experience exceeded the level of instruction in this video. There are plenty of websites dedicated to Paddle Surfing and lots of how-to advice, including video for those averse to reading. Of course nothing can replace personal experience, so step away from the TV and get out on the water.

I should preface my comments, though. While most of this DVD was filled with fluff (random shots of wacky antics, people driving, walking on the beach, etc) and devoted a lot of time trying to sell me the next video in the series, there was nothing wrong with the actual instruction. If you have never touched a Stand Up board and don't have internet access, this would be a good buy.
