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
