Stand-up paddleboarding is a sport that lets people stand and move on top of the water. Paddleboarders stand on a board that looks a lot like a surfboard. But unlike surfers, paddleboarders don’t have to ride on ocean waves. They use a long paddle to push themselves across the water, almost like a rowing boat. So stand-up paddleboarding can be done on calm water, such as on a lake.

The most important thing for stand-up paddleboarding is balance. To keep from falling, you place both feet in the middle of the board with your toes pointed forwards. You should also keep your back perfectly straight. If you lean to one side, you might fall into the water. Once you’re balanced, try not to move your feet or body around. Just use the paddle to propel yourself forwards and glide across the water.
