Some recommendations to correctly ride the stand up inflatable paddle board. Sun Damage: Sunny days are often the nicest days to take your SUP out, but it’s best not to store your inflatable paddle board in direct sunlight long-term. Over time, direct sunlight can fade the colors of your SUP and even cause damage to the PVC material of the board itself. Time: The longer you have your board, the more wear and tear it’ll be exposed to. Eventually every inflatable will need to be replaced but don’t worry, with proper care and storage you’ll be able to use your board at peak performance for years.
Wave Riding vs Paddling: What will you be doing on your inflatable SUP? If the answer is that you will just be casually paddling on flat water, you will be looking for a larger and more stable board. Something that is easy to paddle, very stable and you can even do SUP Yoga on. We highly recommend the Pakaloa SUP. Wanting to hit the waves and surf? Then you need a smaller, less stable board, that will be better on the surf. It needs to be manoeuvrable and able to do sharp turns. You also need to be able to punch it through the surf zone to get out to the backline, so you don’t want a large inflatable SUP. We would recommend the Pakaloa SUP. The last category is for more advanced paddlers, being SUP racing and downwind paddles. If you plan on racing you need a very specific type of inflatable SUP. This inflatable SUP needs to be long and narrow for speed, it will be more unstable at first, but as you get used to paddling it, this will get better.
Stamina: Sometimes every day tasks just seem too hard. They use too much energy, take too much effort and use too much muscle power. Building up your stamina makes it easier to get through the day and get everything done. The overall effect of paddle boarding helps to build up your stamina. Strengthening your muscles will make it easier to do physical activities, while the cardio workout helps develop your endurance. Reducing stress levels is a great help with stamina too, as it gives you a clear mind work on any problems you may have. The combination of an improved cardiovascular system, stronger body and less stress, results in much more stamina.
Easily Transportable and Versatile: Easily transportable due to its lightweight, the easy to inflate paddle board rolls up to a compact size and fits in your backpack or car trunk. You do not need a car / SUV roof rack to haul it. It is your go-to companion for fishing, yoga, and other adventures on lakes, rivers, and oceans. Meant for men, women, teenagers, and kids seeking to have fun in the water. Premium Quality Inflatable Stand up Paddle board: Made from quality material that surpasses military-grade PVC, the inflatable paddle board with handle offers the rigidity of hardboard with all the cool benefits of an ISUP. It has a bungee system of D-Rings and strong bungee cords, which help you pack a small haul.
An extra inflatable stand up paddle board trick: Ride waves you can handle: I’ve been around the ocean most of my life. Bodyboarding, bodysurfing, surfing, sailing, SUPing… Big waves still scare the crap out of me sometimes. Mother nature is a powerful being and you need to respect that and know your limits. We do this for fun and 99% of us aren’t out there to prove anything. Be smart and ride waves in the right conditions for your skill level. That goes for white water paddle boarding too. Be sure to understand the flow of the river and the power of the water.
