SUP（サップ） 水をしっかり捉えるパドルの使い方

フェザーファクトリー

The fourth part of a paddling series, explaining how to catch the water firmly with a SUP paddle. It compares strokes that catch the water with strokes that don't, on the water and in a surf stance.

Key points

• Instead of pulling the paddle back toward you, press straight in the direction the blade face points, pushing down from the top of the grip.
• Pulling the paddle toward you makes bubbles form around the blade, a sign it isn't gripping the water.
• To practise, start with your hands close together on the shaft to feel the catch, then gradually widen them.
• He calls the catch the most important part of SUP paddling: with a poor catch, no amount of effort later in the stroke makes you faster.
