Ocean Paddleboarding For The Beginner

Mike Laielli of Brigantine NJ demonstrates how to get started with paddleboarding in the ocean for beginners. The basics of what conditions to look for, what wetsuit is required, what skill level you need, and the proper equipment to use.

Looks awesome, thanks for explaining the 3/2 wetsuit as well my brain read it the other day and I just thought what the hell I can understand 3/4 lol

[@pualanic4023]

Looks so fun! Thanks for the vid! ❤

In the late 1990s we went to Brigantine seal rescue.
Much success and health to all.

I literally watched this loads of time because I will be going in sea in England 😂I Willa a practice but I’m hoping to do Christmas Day 🤫we’ll see everyone saying no

[@primalsurfshop]

Glad to hear it’s helpful to you. Enjoy!

[@kitesupskate1456]

Good luck on your practice and salt water journey!

Great video! How was the NSP Allrounder? Did you take it out in more surf?

[@primalsurfshop]

Yes, I like the 9’2” Coco/Flax in good surf. I’m 190 lb with 15 years experience in sup surf so you may want larger according to your size/skills

[@AdamDelport]

@@primalsurfshop Would a 9'2 cocoflax allrounder be ok for my wife 132lb for some flatwater cruising .And some waves later.She is beginner to intermediate

[@primalsurfshop]

That’s a little on the small side for a beginner. You should try to get your hands on a loaner or rental board somewhere to try it out first. If you’re in this area you could rent one from my shop.

[@melissaellsworth7943]

Would an all around board be appropriate for ocean paddleboarding for stability? Or what would be recommended?

[@primalsurfshop]

Hi Melissa, Paddleboards in the all-around category generally have more bottom rocker as opposed to flatness of a touring board. The rocker allows for the board to fit an uneven water surface much better than the flat board. Flat boards are built for speed and stability. as a beginner, for someone that is paddling conditions like that you would do better with an all rounder. I hope this helps. Mike

Hello can you please comment on durability of coco construction ? THANKS

[@primalsurfshop]

Yes, I love the construction of the Coco. They use fused cell foam which is really the best for paddleboards. And they are using high quality sustainable products for the outer shell

[@nspsurfnsup]

Why are you so awesome Primal Surf?

[@primalsurfshop]

More to come.. so much to be said about the whole line-up. 🤙🏽

[@matthink1385]

had my first day paddling and just jumped into the sea and padled out

[@tomgesner9731]

Do you do winter sup surf lessons

[@primalsurfshop]

Yes I do. Just email me at [e-mail]. For details. Please include details about your age, height, weight, and experience in standup paddle. Please keep in mind that you will also need to have your own wetsuit

[@c.vanroosen5545]

What about the need to understand local rip tides?

[@primalsurfshop]

Most definitely. Always check with your local Lifeguard’s first before venturing out.

[@relfyem]

You forgot to say you want an ONshore light wind.

Snorkeling in the ocean

[@gennysantana1098]

Lovely I’ll like to contact you

[@arfriedman4577]

I admire people that paddleboard.
I don't like swimming in ocean. I only put my feet in ocean water.
I'd only paddleboard in a lage pool. I like a pool better.

Lame af dude

[@MetroEast77]

Ocean paddle boarding is a bad idea

[@chriskar2324]

And why is that? 😅
