Getting started
How long until I can actually stand up on a wave?
Most people stand on whitewater in one to three sessions. Trimming down the line takes weeks.
On a proper soft top in mellow whitewater, most beginners stand up within their first or second session. Riding a real green wave, angling down the line, takes anywhere from ten to fifty sessions depending on how often you go and how humble you stay. Consistency crushes talent. Two short sessions a week beat one hero week per year.
