Product Information

Inflatable paddleboards are made with PVC layers surrounding a dropstitch core. Cheap paddleboards have just one layer of that PVC, whereas more expensive boards have multiple ones. However, beginners usually go for the fixed tri-fin system. This design makes your paddleboard easy to use in most conditions, offering it sufficient stability and performance. For a beginner, that is. As mentioned, the quality of materials used to create these floating vessels are extremely high quality, typically being made from Drop stitch + PVC. The process to make a stand up paddle board is also not easy, so they're worth the money. The same can be said for inflatable kayaks, but at the end of the day, you're paying for something to keep you afloat in the ocean, so it's worth it.

Usually, affordable brands will compromise quality when it comes to leashes because they’re just an accessory that doesn’t affect your board’s overall functionality. The unit also comes with a carry handle at the centre, which makes it easy for you to haul when you want to transport the board. For instance, a mid-sized board is a great choice for a beginner because it offers better manoeuvrability for river paddling or surfing. That said, the best option for beginners is getting an electric inflator. You can attach this pump to your car or a portable battery and be done in minutes with no effort.We like this board for beginners because it’s easy to steer and quite snappy. That’s thanks to its slim, short, and somewhat thin build, as well as light 10-kg weight. For example, Aquaplanet ALLROUND is 300-cm long, meaning it’s easy to glide. But remember what we discussed above: the heavier you are, the more resistance you’ll face. Therefore, your sup can be more challenging to handle.

Generally, the FBSport Inflatable Paddleboard is pretty easy to operate. It deflates and inflates effortlessly and the ankle strap provided feels comfortable to wear.The other low-tech way to go about it involves cutting the top of the drop stitch material at a short length to the bottom. This is what creates a natural turn-up when under pressure. You can also notice that Tigerxbang SUP is longer than Aqua Spirit, which means it can catch more speed. Therefore, you can use it for a slew of activities, such as speed surfing, yoga, or fishing. Accessories are essential for beginners because (a) they’ll assist you when you’re at large, and (b) they’ll be helpful if/when you are getting other boards. Besides, accessories can make or break your paddling experience. This saves you ample time and is the right unit to have on those days you just can’t wait to get inside the water. The same is true once you’re done with your adventure and want to deflate it. A pump has been provided for the fast set up while removable fins help to achieve a better balance of the board. You still get a bungee cord to get you attached to the board, which can hold a maximum weight of 110kg. The major grievance about the Bestway Hydro-force SUP is that the included pump is not as reliable as you may want. Some users have complained that it did not work quite well, so you might want to get an alternative option just in case. Fast and easy set up Non-slip footpad for stability Carry bag for storage Durable drop stitch fabric Low-quality paddle Faulty pump sometimes (common issue with a lot of sup kits) FBSport Inflatable Paddleboard Kit The FBSport Inflatable Paddleboard is another stylish inflatable paddleboard that will strike you with its looks. It comes in a variety of colours in its charming design, but what will impress you more is the specifications it brings to the table.

Pro tip: Budget paddleboards don’t have these raised tails or in-built arch bars for extra foot support. So, if you can invest a bit more into your beginner paddleboard, do it; you’ll learn faster and be safer while at large. Riggings On the downside, don’t expect high-quality accessories. Some customers complain their bags broke, for instance.Once you gain some more experience, you can consider an inflatable belt. This belt doesn’t hinder your movements, but you’ll have to pull on its cord to inflate it in an emergency. Dual-action pumps are easier to use and faster than single-action pumps because they move the air when you’re pushing and pulling the handle.
