In this new SUPboarder ‘How to video” series we look at SUP racing techniques with Ben Fisher, the 2017 Naish N1SCO European Champion. Ben shares with us his top racing techniques and tips which will help you get more out of racing and hopefully closer to that podium finish! This second video is all about SUP buoy turns. Some races can be won and lost at the buoy turn. So being able to complete a fast smooth buoy turn is vital to keep that lead, and for less time swimming and more time racing! The great thing about buoy turns is that they are easy to practice and you don't need much space on the water to try them. Head to your local estuary and find some unused soft rubber boat buoys and set yourself up a course involving front and backside turns and you will soon get them nailed.

Once you are familiar with basic balance and stance on the board and comfortable with a basic stroke this video will help break down the finer points on how to get more power and efficiency out of your paddling.

Efficiently apply more power to your strokes to go faster for longer distances by combining the three ingredients of a powerful Stand Up Paddleboard stroke: PUSH with the top hand for quick acceleration TWIST from your hips and shoulders to engage the core, LEAN into the stroke to turn gravity into forward propulsion.

Starts don't get anymore dramatic for both paddlers and spectators, than when SUP racing starting with a running start from the beach. But when starting like this it's vital to get a good start off the beach because a fast beach starter can launch themselves into a good lead that sometimes can be hard for other paddlers to claw back later in the race. Starboard UK Team rider Ben Pye gives us a run through of his super slick beach starts. Remember : Depending on the race and what the race organisers allow you may or may not be allowed to wear a leash. Find more video on https://www.supboardermag.com/

3x SUP World Champion, Fiona Wylde tore her shoulder in April 2022. She had surgery in June 2022 and had to sit out the entire 2022 season. After a long year of physical therapy and training, Fiona is back on the water and ready for the 2023 season ahead. Her last race was the ICF World Championships in Poland in September 2021, where she won both the Distance and the Technical Racing World Titles. Here, Fiona takes us through a stand up paddle distance race training day on the water. She shares her goals, observations, how she manages Type 1 Diabetes, and a little bit of personal insight into her shoulder recovery. "On one hand it feels like it's been a long road to get here, and on the other it feels like time as passed very quickly. I have learned a lot during this injury and this recovery process, but I am very happy with where I am right now, both physically and mentally. It's been a long time since I have Stand Up Paddle Raced, so I can't create too many expectations for myself, but I guarantee that I am excited to be racing soon and I look forward to giving it my best! Thank you to everybody who supports me, wouldn't be possible without you!" ~Fiona Wylde
