Gul Cross 10'7 Inflatable SUP Stand Up Paddle Boarding Board Package - Unisex - Inflatable (SUP) stable and easy to handle

Product Information

Then came standing up, to this day after many more outings I have never fallen off the board. Dinghy sailing and skiing, my two favourite sports involve a level of balance so I know I am not a total disaster at staying upright but certainly very far from a gymnast. Remember that all our estimated delivery times are quoted in "working days". Weekends and bank holidays are not included in estimated timescales.

Double layered rails - second-layer reinforced rail band - the final seal provides extra compression and increased stiffnessRoll on a trip to Scotland, I had hidden the SUP in its bag under various bits of camping gear and two dogs in the car waiting to see if I could find the ideal spot. Oh my goodness did I find it! Shieldaig on the west coast, complete with an island to SUP around. There was no chance I was going to fall in here, the water was full of amazing jelly fish to look down at. I also learnt to not wobble, the answer being look forward not down. Then my second vision came from above and I found out the paddle is adjustable, so with the paddle now actually allowing me to stand properly upright life was much easier. My favourite SUP moment and a turning point in balance and style, from here on SUPing has been a breeze. A 10ft 6in or 10ft 8in length board with a width of 30 to 34 inches is generally the most popular size for beginners, and for the whole family to enjoy. Is it OK to leave an inflatable paddle board inflated? Although I’m taller and heavier than them, I found I was also able to keep my balance – although it was less stable for me than a 10ft 6in,. The pointed shape of the nose and tail makes it easy to turn, so it’s a good investment for juniors who are building up their confidence. It’s important that you have the paddle fitted for your height. Most paddles are adjustable, too. Smith suggests placing the paddle blade in front of your toes, with the paddle handle up, and reaching one arm up so that your palm and fingertips can curl over the top of the T-grip. “You want your second hand to be halfway down the shaft of the paddle.”

It’s best to rinse your board with fresh water and store it deflated in its bag in a cool place out of sunlight. However, it’s also fine to leave it inflated between uses - with a few caveats. If the kayak is unwanted, it is your responsibility to arrange and pay for the return to our base in Truro, Cornwall. The kayak can be returned to us by a courier of your choice however, due to the size, weight and handling difficulties, couriers do charge a considerably larger fee compared to a standard small parcel. Smith says for cross training, runners can take up a 30-minute paddle boarding session anywhere from one to three days a week. And says the mental determination required for long paddling sessions is similar to that of long endurance runs. Ready to get on the water? Smith recommends having these essentials with you to make for a safe and enjoyable experience:

Moving the board around on land involved grabbing the central handle with long arms, pop it on the water and it becomes much easier, light, easy to handle and relatively stable. The surface is grippy and leg friendly so within 30 seconds I was happily sat down or kneeling on the board and having a great time.

Due to the size, weight and handling difficulties associated with kayaks, we are unable to provide free delivery (or included in the cost of the item). Because paddle boarding is a low-impact activity, it’s also great for individuals who deal with arthritis or are recovering from an injury, Smith says. However, there are plenty of all-rounder boards that'll see you comfortable taking on the challenges and enjoying the pleasures of SUP life without compromising on much at all.Tandem boards for two are a fun option on which you can take the whole family and a picnic on one board, but they’re too heavy to paddle on your own.” If you are willing to spend a little bit more than a budget model but don't want to have to baby your board whenever you are moving it around, the TOUGH-TEC Cross is the perfect choice. This board is fantastic for families, novices, or anyone who doesn't want to worry about their board getting damaged from a single moment of carelessness. While there are other boards that can match this one when it comes to toughness, none of the other products paddle quite as well, with the TOUGH-TEC actually holding its own with the top-tier boards when it comes to paddling performance.
