If you are a beginner and want to learn how to paddle a board, contact www.funandmorerentals.com 941-462-2719 and they have instructors to guide you. Let us see few steps on how to paddle board.
To start paddle boarding, first you need to have paddle board, so go to sports store or a local surf shop. Instead of buying one, first see if you can rent one from a local surf shop.
Carry your board and paddle to the water. Start by laying the board, paddling it with your arms, simply to get a feel for things. Once you get comfortable with the things, get on your knees. Now, use your paddle and get familar with the paddling motion and the rocking of the board.
When you feel you are able to balance on the knees, stand on the board. Ensure to keep moving yourself forward, since it will be simple to stand up. If you keep standing still, it will become more difficult for you to balance.
Try to practice in still water until you get very comfortable. Now, you are almost ready to enter the surf. Try paddling out on a day while the swell is just about one to three feet. If you try directly to get out when there is a big swell, you are asking for a butt kickin'
Now get out and paddle. Here is a list of paddle board rental locations across the USA and Canada

Manatees spotted off Harrington House Anna Maria Island
Aug 21 Paddling boarding report !!
During last week our guests stayed at the Harrington House on Gulf Drive in Holmes beach. They rented one of the suites there and just loved it. They said they come every year for a get away from Tampa.
They thanked us so much for the time they had paddle boarding every morning and every evening. Heather mentioned she was paddling with a huge pod of manatees. It was INCREDIBLE she said and a bit intimidating too. Having these huge sea cows so near is a nerve racking.
Heather and her husband went out everyday and paddled early in the morning and at sunset; these are the times that the water is calm and paddling is fun. Don't forget while having so much fun and exploring the Gulf coast, stand up paddling is great exercise.

Paddling with dolphins in Anna Maria
Another report of dolphins playing with our guests on Paddle boards. We delivered a paddle board for rental at around 2600 Gulf Dr in Bradenton Beach on Anna Maria Island. The girls said they saw dolphins yesterday and wanted to go out and see if she could get really close. Well!!!!!!! I never heard from her today but I heard from someone else on the beach that said they saw the first girl playing and swimming and paddling around 6-10 dolphins!! This new lady was so excited and arranged for some paddle board rentals for tomorrow morning so she to can experience being within feet from dolphins in the ocean.
The dolphins seem to be very curious of these stand up paddle boards. The dophins come up close to the boards and even bump into them. It is such a spectacular site to see dolphins up close and see how curious they are. Just another day in the Life on Anna Maria Island Florida
