A great example is turning your board - whether it is on a wave or on the flat. Looking where you want to go is essential to a successful SUP turn. As a skier or boarder, if you don't look where you are going into the turn the likelihood of falling increases. By looking where you are going you get to wind your body up and use your core to power the turn. This is very similar to teeing off at golf or serving in tennis.

There are so many sports and activities that have transferrable skills to them. Have a think about what you do in your other sports and see if any of them can aid your paddleboarding. By going the other way, Stand Up Paddleboarding can really benefit your other sports. The fantastic core workout you can recieve on your board being a prime example.

So next time you are on the court, the golf course, pitch, piste or on your bike, have a think about what you are doing with your body, and bring it onto your SUP.
