Performance Allround SUP The all-round performance SUP board is for people wanting every thing the all-round board gives, stability and manoeuverability but with a bit of Oomph! Race SUP The term 'race' is a little misleading for the wider of the race boards with a width of 29"", as they provide plenty of stability for long touring paddles. They are not just for racing. If you are sporty and have good balance these inflatable sups will be excellent fast touring boards.
They are one of our boards of choice for distance paddling. The narrower Race SUPs at around 26" are incredibly fast, but are really best for those with experience or the best of balance! Fitness SUP Fitness Paddleboards are a relatively new introduction to the SUP market, feeding the rise of paddleboard yoga as it's very own discipline. The prefect yoga SUP is nice and stable, offering the additional benefits for the core that practicing yoga on a SUP creates, without being too unstable so that you fall in!
With an allround, shape, these paddleboards are also good for allround flat water paddling, most fitness paddle boards will have the handle moved to the side as not to affect your yoga poses and also be slightly wider than the standard all round shape to aid balance. Developments in design and construction mean they are super stiff so ride a wave extremely well. They are short and hence very fast turning. The low volume means that overall stability is not as great as longer boards.
They are slowest to paddle in a straight line. Best suited for those who will primarily use their Inflatable SUP in waves. Specifically designed for running rivers, they are the perfect tool for this exhilarating type of paddleboarding.
White Water SUPs are wide for stability and very short for the utmost maneuverability. They are made with the most bombproof constructions for rigidity and durability in the most extreme environments. Giant paddleboards designed to carry multiple paddlers at the same time; whether on flat water or in the waves they are a real blast. A great addition to the fleet for watersports centres, a unique tender for yacht owners or be the envy of every family on the beach!
Allround review. SUP Safety Equipment. All rights reserved. This makes it ideal for anyone short on storage space, as well as great for family holidays, short hikes to water, and pretty much everything else. The foot length adds stability and reduces bulk, making this an effortless tourer, while an EVA deck pad adds comfort and grip to the deck section for those longer days.
A six-point bungee will keep all shapes and sizes of baggage secure too. The package includes a small but mighty double-chamber pump, click-in fins and a rather lovely five-piece carbon paddle with robust nylon blade.
Those five sections means it breaks down super-short for transport, as well as looking awesome. Overall, this is super-packable, lightweight and stylish, as well as being a well-behaved beginner board. You'll certainly not need to upgrade for a while! A design that's large and versatile enough for all kinds of kiddos both human and hairy At 11 feet by 34 inches, it's sturdy and stable on the water, wide enough to accommodate more than one paddler at once, and its maximum inflation point of 18 PSI makes it rigid and unflexing to mimic the feel of an epoxy or fibreglass board.
Enticed by the prospect of taking your yoga practice out onto the water, but not sure you can justify buying a dedicated yoga paddleboard? Don't let that funky print fool you, because the Thurso Surf Prodigy Junior is an inflatable paddle board extraordinaire. This mini inflatable SUP is the best paddle board for children right now. It's light to carry down to the water, extra thick to aid balance, soft just in case if they faceplant and, reviewers say, easy to inflate.
It also comes with a whole host of useful accessories including paddle, removable fins, leash and a travel-friendly bag. It's a smaller size — just 7'6" — so it's strictly for kids. Construction is a key consideration, but usually an easily resolved one. The days of stand-up paddle boards being mainly solid fibreglass or expanded foam has long gone. If you have a campervan or live next to the water then a solid construction will make sense, as these are almost indestructible and perform much better in the water.
But if that's not the case which it won't be for most , then you'll want one of the new breed of inflatable SUPs. We have a separate, dedicated guide to the best inflatable paddle boards , but they also appear in this list of beginner's paddle boards. These can pack down into compact ish bags and thus be transported anywhere with ease, as well as stored easily when not in use.
There are boards out there to suit all tastes and pockets as you'll see in our ranking , but the key thing when choosing the best paddle board for beginners is to choose something you can stand up easily on. While staying up can be a challenge in itself, there are a bunch of factors that will influence how stable the board will be. 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.
Wider boards are more stable, but slower in the water; longer boards are less maneuverable but more buoyant. The overall shape ranges from the bulbous to slim and shark-like. The slimmer and sharkier the board, the more suitable it is for racing and surf-style activities, but these are fairly advanced operations, so choose based on stability rather than flashiness to begin with.
To start out, you'll be looking for either an all-rounder or a touring-style SUP if you plan to travel longer distances, but either should be relatively stable and tractable to learn the basics on.
One final factor to consider is price. As with anything you get what you pay for, and in our ranking we've chosen beginner's paddle boards that range from the downright bargainous through to the spendy-but-tempting. Bear in mind that good quality, desirable beginner boards are always popular in the second hand market, so buying well will pay dividends later in cash as well as enjoyment.
