This 3 piece adjustable SUP paddle delivers a strong aluminium shaft, a durable nylon composite blade, and a super comfortable handle. It is strong but also light (2.1 pounds!) which is often an issue with three piece paddles, and comes in a cleverly designed paddle bag to protect it, which also helps it to pack down to a seriously compact size in seconds making travelling incredibly easy. The height range is simply huge – 66 inches to 83 inches (1.665 – 2.1m) – so it suits a very broad range of paddlers (4 foot 6 and up) – so as well as being light and strong it can adjust more than most other paddles. The light weight really reduces paddler fatigue and makes it easy for virtually anyone to use – important when being used by children or lighter adults – when paddle weight really matters. It takes just seconds to assemble – or break down and pack away, and of course is super easy to adjust the height. It is super durable and built to deliver years of fun and is guaranteed to ALWAYS float, and has a ‘Bullet Proof’ complete replacement guarantee for a FULL 12 months. It is protected by its super handy carry bag – which has 3 compartments to stop any parts rubbing during travel, and a heat reflective inner lining to prevent the paddle from heating up. A new member of the extremely popular ‘BPS’ range of paddles this 3 piece paddle shows great pedigree, having been designed and tested in New Zealand. It is a great general use paddle that is very durable (approved by Bullet Proof’s 240 pound tester), and suitable for virtually anyone due to its lightweight.

Many popular surfing destinations have surf schools and surf camps that offer lessons. Surf camps for beginners and intermediates are multi-day lessons that focus on surfing fundamentals. They are designed to take new surfers and help them become proficient riders. All-inclusive surf camps offer overnight accommodations, meals, lessons and surfboards. Most surf lessons begin with instruction and a safety briefing on land, followed by instructors helping students into waves on longboards or “softboards”. The softboard is considered the ideal surfboard for learning, due to the fact it is safer, and has more paddling speed and stability than shorter boards. Funboards are also a popular shape for beginners as they combine the volume and stability of the longboard with the manageable size of a smaller surfboard.[15] New and inexperienced surfers typically learn to catch waves on softboards around the 7–8 foot funboard size. Due to the softness of the surfboard the chance of getting injured is substantially minimized. Costco’s alaia design Wavestorm surfboard is a cheap and cost efficient option; unlike many surfboards, this one comes with rubber fins, stock leash, pre-installed traction.[16]
Typical surfing instruction is best performed one-on-one, but can also be done in a group setting. The most popular surf locations offer perfect surfing conditions for beginners, as well as challenging breaks for advanced students. The ideal conditions for learning would be small waves that crumble and break softly, as opposed to the steep, fast-peeling waves desired by more experienced surfers. When available, a sandy seabed is generally safer.
Surfing can be broken into several skills: Paddling strength, Positioning to catch the wave, timing, and balance. Paddling out requires strength, but also the mastery of techniques to break through oncoming waves (duck diving, eskimo roll). Take-off positioning requires experience at predicting the wave set and where they will break. The surfer must pop up quickly as soon as the wave starts pushing the board forward. Preferred positioning on the wave is determined by experience at reading wave features including where the wave is breaking.[17] Balance plays a crucial role in standing on a surfboard. Thus, balance training exercises are a good preparation. Practicing with a Balance board or swing boarding helps novices master the art.
