Check out this online video clinic about doing efficient (and dry) pivot turns on your paddleboard. April Zilg is one of our favorite instructors, and here she breaks down the pivot turn, complete with sciencey stuff, video analysis, demonstrations, a chalkboard, and little stick people. Do yourself a favor and watch it.
We like to practice some of the principles April discusses here on dry land with a couple of stability wobble cushions and a 2×6 plank — it will make a world of difference in your board handling skills. Now go play!
