In reply to Lynsey. Hi Lynsey, Many people make this mistake and end up getting into trouble. We recommend that you first start on a lake with zero powered vessels allowed if possible. This will allow you to develop your skills standing on the board in still water without wake from the other boats. Rivers might sound reasonable but many people have gotten into trouble or pulled underwater by their leash if caught on submerged objects. River SUP requires quick release leashes in addition it also requires you to wear your leash around your waist vs around your ankle to give you quick access in case of an emergency.

If I go out for the first time and borrow my friends board would I be better on a river, lake or the great big ocean? I assume a river initially?

In reply to Lynsey. Hi Lynsey, Last year the sport saw an approximated 1% growth as it has year on year since at least 2013. It is estimated that in the USA alone over 3.5 million people participated in or attempted Paddleboarding.
