The Paddleboarding Words Behind the Puns

The puns on this page lean on a handful of paddling words. Here is what they mean on the water.

Word	What it means
SUP	Short for stand up paddle or stand up paddleboarding.
Inflatable	A board you pump up with air and roll into a backpack. Often called an iSUP.
Hard board	A solid board made from foam and fiberglass, epoxy or plastic instead of air.
Deck pad	The grippy foam on top of the board where you stand.
Leash	The cord that connects your ankle or waist to the board so it doesn’t float away when you fall.
Blade	The wide, flat end of the paddle that goes in the water.
Rail	The side edge of the board.
Fin	The keel on the underside of the tail that keeps the board tracking straight.
Catch	The moment in a stroke when the blade enters the water and starts to pull.
Pivot turn	A quick turn made by stepping back toward the tail so the nose lifts and the board spins. Racers use it at the buoys.
Drafting	Paddling close behind another board to ride in its wake and save energy.
Downwinding	Paddling with the wind at your back and riding the small swells it builds, often called bumps.

How to Pick a Paddleboarding Team Name

• Keep it to two or three words. Race sign-up sheets and bib lists cut off long names.
• Match the name to the crew. A lake day group can be silly, a race relay team can pick something fast.
• If the team is a company outing, check that the name works in front of the boss and in the photo on the intranet.
• Save the cheeky names for adult groups if kids are paddling at the same event.
• Start from a paddling word like SUP, board, blade or glide and swap it into a song or saying you like.
