FIRST TIME OUT ON A SUP? • rent or borrow a friend’s board • get a paddle that reaches 20 to 30 centimetres above your head
• get the right size board for your weight
• get a life vest, 15 metres of floating rope, and a whistle, for safety
• start in calm, sheltered, flat water with a soft bottom
• start off on your knees if you want, then stand up when you’re comfortable
As for me and my SUP, I’m not in Mexico, the water isn’t blue and warm and I will never wear a black bikini, but when I’m on my board, I’m the girl in the picture.
