Balance wasn't much of an issue, but paddling and getting into position on a wave was much more challenging than I would have thought.

I enjoyed just paddling up and down an empty beach and riding in bumps as they came. Pretty mellow experience.
I love the perspective you get on the water and everything in the water while standing, I can see all the way to the bottom in pretty deep water normally. Lots of fun stuff swimming around people and they have no idea
