Challenge your first SUP! How to choose a board or paddle
Even if you want to make your SUP debut this year, there are many things that beginners don't know about the names of tools and how to choose them. First of all, I will introduce how to choose the sap board and paddle, which are essential gears.
How to choose SUP board?
When choosing your first sap board, what you should pay attention to Material and type .. The material is big 2 type It can be divided into.
Hardboard
A hard board is a board made of a hard material such as reinforced plastic. It is suitable for competitions such as SUP surfing and racing because it has less deflection and is easy to speed up. However, it is not suitable for beginners because it is easy to get injured when it hits the body. Another disadvantage is that it is easily damaged by impact. The long one is 3.5 meters or more and cannot be folded, so it is a little difficult to carry and store at home.
Inflatable board
The inflatable board is made of rubber material and is used by inflating it with air like a rubber boat with an electric pump.
.. It is cheaper than a hard board and easy to carry. Weight is
10kg
There are a lot of them, but you can put them in the attached bag and carry them by car or public institution. Because you don't have to worry about getting injured by hitting your body
Inflatable board is recommended for beginners
is.
However, since it is made of rubber, it may puncture at sea, and it is vulnerable to heat and may explode if left on the beach in summer. Careful handling is required.
There are four main types. Which one is suitable for beginners?
There are four main types (shapes) of sap boards. Let's look at each feature
All round
There are various ways to enjoy SUP( Sap). I want to enjoy cruising, exercising, and surfing! If you are a beginner, don't hesitate All-round type Let's choose. The size should be wide and thick. Highly stable and suitable for beginners.
Race model
The pointed race model is a board for those who participate in speed competitions such as SUP races and SUP marathons. It is difficult to handle and is a type for advanced users.
Wave
As the name suggests, Wave is characterized by its special shape for "surfing". As with surfing, there are shortboards and longboards. Shortboards have low buoyancy and are difficult to ride, but they are easy to handle and can make sharp turns. The longboard has a large buoyancy, and it has a sense of stability and you can enjoy cruising.
cruising
There are many opportunities to go outdoors to lakes and rivers, and I want to enjoy leisurely cruising. This type is recommended for such people. It is wider than the race model and has excellent stability and strength. It is also recommended for fishing.
How to choose a paddle?
Paddles for rowing are also indispensable for SUP. There are several paddle materials, but the lightest and most suitable for racing is the rod part called the shaft.
carbon
Made of. Many of the high-end models are made of carbon and are expensive.
The shaft is
Made of aluminum
The ones are durable and inexpensive, but they are heavy. The shaft is located between the two in terms of weight and price.
Made of fiberglass
It is a paddle. Not only the material of the shaft, but also the size and material of the part called the blade that enters the water, and the hardness and thickness of the shaft affect the feeling when rowing. When making a purchase, be sure to consult a professional at a well-stocked specialty store.
Also, it is an important checkpoint that the length of the paddle suits you.
The best balance is that your elbows bend a little when you reach out and grab the grip.
is. However, the exact length may change depending on the application and the type of board. There is also the option of an adjustable paddle with adjustable length.
What other tools do you need?
For safety reasons, you should never forget A flow stop that connects the body to a board called a leash cord is. Without a leash cord, the board could get separated from your body in the water, resulting in an accident such as drowning or the washed board hitting a person. We recommend the coil type cord, which is hard to get entangled. As it deteriorates during use, the joints may become loose and the cord may be cut, so it is recommended to replace it every year.
"In addition to the leash code Life jacket It is safe to have it. It is also useful to have hats and sunglasses that block UV rays, and marine shoes that protect your feet with rocks.
What are the preparations (clothes, belongings, etc.) before going to SUP?
To enjoy SUP without worrying about it Advance preparation of clothes and belongings Is important. Some items can be rented and some items should be brought with you, so be sure to check in advance.
What clothes are suitable for SUP?
Bikini in the summer T Some people wear very light clothing such as shirts and shorts. SUP (Sap). However, because it is exposed to direct sunlight, it is also possible to prevent sunburn and exhaustion of physical strength. Wetsuits and rush guards It is recommended to wear. Before you get used to it, you often fall into the water, and even in the summer, your body can get cold. It is safe to keep your skin exposed sparingly as the board or paddle may hit your body and cause injury. is.
Exercises such as yoga and pilates SUP At the time of (Sap), I want to be careful about fashion. When the water surface is calm and there is no wind like a lake Rush guard and rush leggings, shorts How about coordinating? When it's cold or windy, wear a wetsuit with high heat retention. In addition to the full suit that covers the whole body from the wrist, there are various variations such as a long sleeve spring that integrates long sleeves and shorts, and a long john that integrates sleeveless and long pants. Find your favorite design. In terms of increasing visibility from ships and jet skis Things with a prominent color Is recommended.
What you can rent
When participating in a school or hands-on tour SUP Boards, paddles, leash cords, wetsuits, life jackets, helmets, etc. can often be rented It seems. Whether it is paid or free depends on the company, so check in advance if you want to enjoy it reasonably.
Belongings
Bring swimwear, rush guards, hats, sunglasses, etc.
let's do it. If you don't want to drop your glasses or sunglasses, secure them with a sports glasses band. People who wear contact lenses may want to have goggles for swimming (if you are using disposable contact lenses, bring a spare).
Considering wearing a rush guard, wet suit, and life jacket from above, a simple swimsuit design with few decorations is better. The feet are more amphibious than flip-flops, as they may pass through rocky areas that are difficult to walk.
Marine shoes
recommend. Crocs-like sandals are not suitable because they can be easily removed in water.
Items that are convenient to have
What I definitely want to bring is
Large and small towels, strong waterproof sunscreen, drinks, change of clothes, plastic bag with zipper
Such. Plastic bags are useful when you don't want to get wet or when you want to store wet clothes.
Mini-sized moisturizers and lip balms can help prevent rough skin and dryness. If you want to take beautiful pictures, bring a waterproof camera or a smartphone in a waterproof case. Just in case you get injured
Copy of insurance card
It is safe to have it.
How do you get on the board? What are the basics of rowing?
When you can finally get out on the water, let's row while sitting upright. Practice getting up when you get used to it. Open your hands about the width of your shoulders, get on the board, and when you are in a kneeling position, slowly stand up one leg at a time and raise your body. If you can stand evenly across the center line of the board, you are successful.
It is recommended to practice the basics of paddle work on land before going out to the water. When viewed from the side, the correct way to hold it is that the paddle is in front of your body and your arms and paddle shaft (bar part) are in a clean triangle. Once you get used to rowing straight, practice the basic techniques of "advancing, turning, and stopping." Remember the technique of turning and turning. At this point, you should be able to freely row on the water while admiring the beautiful scenery and the fish swimming in the water.
Experience tour is recommended for the first SUP (SUP)
For those who try SUP for the first time, Please take part in a hands-on tour organized by a school or shop. .. SUP is an activity that even people with little experience in marine sports can enjoy, but there are dangers if you can not handle the tools. It is safe if you can teach us the rules and characteristics of the slopes in the area as well as how to use the boards and paddles. And of course, be careful about managing your physical condition. Don't overdo it when you get out on the water, and don't forget to prepare! Please enjoy and safely row into the ever-expanding world of SUP.
