Product Information

This refers to the board’s updated overall construction to increase stability while keeping the board’s weight low. Fins beneath the board near the tail help a board track well (read: stay straight) in the water and help increase stability. The board can take a single passenger weighing in the region of 60kg to 80kg, and can be used to cruise and to traverse small waves. A variety of standup paddleboard designs exist that are tailored to specific activities and user goals.

Whilst it can be very tempting to opt for a cheaper board at the lower end of the market, in this piece we’re going to look at exactly why not all inflatable paddle boards are made equal. Don’t fret: both boards can handle a maximum payload well in excess of 180kg, which should be more than enough for a full day’s worth of supplies.Otherwise, if you weigh 140 pounds (and want the board to be extra speedy or maneuverable), you have the option of choosing a shorter length — and therefore less volume — board. Carbon is the most performance-oriented because it’s lightweight and strong, and the investment could be worth the long haul. One of our testers was able to strap his camera in a Pelican case to the 45-degree angled handles, which most SUPs don’t have —a nice feature for the gear you want easily accessible. This paddleboard is ideal for larger/heavier riders and because of how long and wide it is, it's ideal for beginners/intermediates too. If you’re looking for a SUP up to the rigors of multi-day expeditions, but won’t load your rig down during your road trip, the Endurance Air offers a great compromise.

Whether you’re floating on a mellow river or lake, navigating Class 2 rapids, or exploring coastlines, a SUP offers freedom and exposure you don’t get in a boat or kayak. For instance, the Hala Gear Hala Rado is nearly entirely covered in an EVA cushioned deck pad, which is even topped off with a 1. To address those challenges, inflatable paddle board makers add extra materials and support rods to strengthen single-layer dropstitch, giving a tougher, more stable board without adding the extra weight of a second level of dropstitch. It’s a fun board to paddle, especially on overnight trips when you want to cover some ground (er, water). Keep your thermos flask inside a cooler and it will stay warmer than if you just strap it under the elastic on your board.

For overnight paddle trips and whitewater trips, our favorite feature is stainless steel D-rings — they’re easy to clip or thread tie-downs into, reliable, and super sturdy.
