Before you ever stand on a board, paddling teaches you how to connect with the water. This video breaks down proper technique — how to lie centered on your board, engage your core, use long, controlled strokes, and keep your head up for balance and direction. You’ll discover how small adjustments in timing and form create smoother movement and conserve energy.

Paddling isn’t just motion — it’s rhythm, patience, and persistence. Each stroke is a reminder that progress often happens quietly, long before the moment of arrival. As you train, let your effort become a kind of worship — steady, focused, and full of trust that every stroke draws you closer to the wave God has waiting for you.
