How do I perform self-rescue or get back on the board if I fall off?
Performing self-rescue or getting back on the board after falling off is an essential skill for paddleboarding. To reboard the board, position yourself at the rear of the board, grab the handle or leash, and kick your legs to propel yourself onto the board while pulling your body up. Practice this maneuver in calm waters until you can confidently reboard the board in various conditions.
