Equipment featured:

1. FIND CALM & FLAT WATER
so it’s easy to practice
2. USE THE PADDLE HOLDER
to secure your paddle
3. USE THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD
and be in the centre of your board, at the handle
4. MAKE A TRIPOD BASE
with your head and your hands on the board; elbows bent at 90° angle
5. WALK FEET IN TOWARDS YOUR HEAD
to stack your hips over your shoulders
6. PLACE KNEES ON ELBOWS
be sure to feel stable here before taking your legs up
7. SLOWLY LIFT YOUR LEGS UP
8. BE IN THE MIDDLE LINE
squeeze your legs and feet together to maintain stability and keep your balance
9. LIFT SHOULDERS UP
and away from the board to take the weight off your head and neck
