Getting up in Sup is easy, the principle of stand up paddle is to row standing on a board but you still have to go from lying down to standing.

First of all, place the board in the water, on either side.
Lie on it with the paddle under you, the blade at the torso and the handle pointing forward.
Row in surfer position away from the edge.
Grab the paddle in one hand and get on your knees, right in the centre of the board, not too far forward or too far back.
Before getting up, place the paddle perpendicular to the board, grabbing it with both hands.
Lift one knee, then the other. Spread your feet wide and use the paddle to help you maintain your balance (like a tightrope walker).
You can also go from kneeling to standing in one go.
Finally, look far ahead to maintain balance. Especially avoid fixing your eyes on the board in a slightly bent position. It is there, and it’s not going anywhere.
