If you want to improve your stand up paddling when you're off the water, then take a look at using these land training aids from Aztron to help with balance and fine tuning your technique.
We got a hold of the Aztron skateboards and balance board to really understand if using training aids off the water will help to improve your on water performance. And we can tell you that it does!
The Dusk balance board is a fantastic tool to improve your balance and reaction time. You can use the roller lengthways and sideways not eh board to increase the difficulty and practice both forward and back, plus heel and toe movements. It’s a workout too which means you get fit and practice your balance.
The skateboards allow you to practice SUP surfing and accompanied by the land paddle, you get a very similar feeling to stand up paddling. The longboard skateboard feels more cruisey and you can work on your cross stepping. The shorter skateboards are manoeuvrable and you can work on turns, body positioning and generating speed.
Thanks!
I also use training boards and a 3 wheel skate board to “practice” in between sessions, which are months apart for me…

By the way Beau, try a pump track with a surf skate board, I am sure you will like it!
Hey JV you have got some skills on a balance board. And I have never seen a 3 wheeled skate board before … epic. Pump tracks are the best.
The 3 wheeled skateboard is great because it turns far more than with four, but you need to get a bit accustomed to it.
You even can find some with only two wheels!
Agreed on pump tracks, and kids love them too, which makes it even more fun.
Right.. Im going to find one! Looks really hard to use on pump track. Good skills!
Check out this system that Susie Cooney uses. I am using 2 Indo gigante cushions on top of each other and to me it really feels like surfing or supping in rough water. I plan to put the cushions side by side and use a bigger board to practice the pop up or sup paddling
Thanks for the share Cam. It all helps 🙂
