Stand Up Paddle Board Technique: The Paddle Slap

The paddle slap is a paddle board technique that is a form of brace to give extra stability. It is used when moving around the board, in choppy conditions or in the surf. In this video we guide you through the key elements of this SUP technique.

To initiate the slap, smack the logo side of the blade onto the water. Keep the knuckles down and break at the knees to keep the body weight low. The further the blade is from the board the more stability it will provide. Try and lower the handle as well as the blade to help provide width and stability.
