VDWS - Stand up Paddling Workbook for Beginners

The Handbook for Paddleboarding Beginners

On the 27 pages of the VDWS - Stand up Paddling Workbook for beginners, you will find excellent explanations with pictures of all the basics of Stand Up Paddling. It starts with getting started, adjusting the paddle, and the optimal standing position, then moves on to different paddling techniques and basic knowledge about safety and environmental protection.

This handbook is the ideal companion for your paddling course. Here you can reread all the content and recall it with the help of the pictures. It also serves as good preparation if you haven't taken a course yet.

Here's what VDWS says about it:

Welcome
to your companion for Stand Up Paddling.
Here you'll dive into the world of a very diverse nature sport.

On the lake, on the river, on the sea - SUP has it all!
The versatility of paddle sports has few limits. From simply immersing yourself in nature to an effective full-body workout to surfing the waves, everything is possible. Experience tours, practice yoga on the board, play SUP polo, foil, or race - depending on the area and your preference, you can find your very own passion here.

To ensure that your start in your new sport is really good, safe and efficient, we recommend that you complete a VDWS basic course. Here, the basics of stand-up paddling are taught in a mix of practice and theory. From the beginning, you will learn the correct technique and handling of the equipment. Nature conservation and maintaining distances to sensitive areas are particularly important to us. You will also learn when and where you can paddle safely.

With the VDWS SUP Basic Licence, you can complete the course and test your skills on the water and your knowledge about paddling.

First, however, we wish you much joy in reading this

reading material and, of course, in paddling!
See you on the water!
