WARNING
Do not stand up on the SUP if there are objects nearby that present a falling
hazard (dock, rocks, etc.). Remain on your knees and use the paddle to
move further away before standing up. You can return to a kneeling position
at any time if a hazardous situation presents itself.

of the board for added stability.

Stand up one foot at a time (use the paddle for balance).

Your feet should be positioned shoulder-width in the middle of the board,
one foot on each-side of the carry handle.

When you feel comfortable, start paddling forward.

Position your paddle blade with the Pelican "bird" logo towards the back
of the board for optimal efficiency.
