Naming the Parts of a Stand Up Paddle Board

Apr 24, 2022
In this short video I run through the names of the different parts of a stand up paddle board. Why know the names? To give you a common language when talking to other paddlers, shops, and professionals in the industry you may interact with.


I cover,
  • Nose, the front
  • Tail, the back
  • Deck pad, to give our feet grip
  • Handle, to carry or indicate the most stable part of the board


If you are looking to learn more about Stand Up Paddling, how to get into the sport, or how to build on your skills, check out my SUP Lessons and SUP Certifications.


Hope to see you on the water soon!
