Product Information

It cruises well on flat water and I found it performed well on a half-day touring paddle in gentle waves and chop. If you want to start right away with one of the short paddle boards for surfing, you will probably make acquaintance with the water more often than you would like. To put together our reviews (which you'll find linked in the product blurb for each item), we consider things like how stable and comfortable it is to paddle on, whether all the components work at they're meant to, the quality of the board and other components, how straightforward it is to set up and carry, and any added features that make life easier.

A lightly used, well cared for and good quality board should last for five to ten years – or more if well cared for.Loaded with features, our versatile selection of iSUPs cover everything from beginner entry level boards to high performance professional boards. At the heart of Wave SUPs is a passion for creativity and innovation, designed in the UK and retailing around the globe, our next generation iSUPs are crafted using superior quality materials, come loaded with features and have the freshest look and feel. One of the best life jackets is a necessary safety precaution, and if you want to bring anything on the board, you'll want one of the best dry bags to protect your stuff.

It is like wearing a seat belt in your car, you don’t expect to need it, but you wear it just in case.

There is no middle handle to get in the way when doing yoga in the board; instead, the carry handles are either side. On the one hand, the board then lies a little deeper in the water and thus has less surface area to attack, and on the other hand, the wave provides additional buoyancy. As well as ensuring the board can support your weight (there's normally a weight limit indicator for this), you'll also want to pay attention to the width and length of the board and its shape. The NKX Flash is smaller, lighter and faster, and will suit intermediate SUP-ers heading into the sea to try out small waves. Below I’ve tried and tested several of the best inflatable paddle boards and spoken to an expert about paddleboard maintenance and water safety.
