NFT: Stand Up Paddle Board

UConn4523 : 6/22/2020 1:47 pm

any BBIers do some paddleboarding? I want to get an inflatable SUP and of course, there's a ton on the market. Don't need anything crazy, hoping to spend under $500. There's a bunch on Amazon with various ratings, many seem sold out (summer + COVID).

We bought two inflatables from Isle Surf & SUP three-four years ago.

Total was about $1050 all-in with the accessories, but had to buy a pair to hit your $500 price point. Don’t know what kind of deals they run now. Anyway, the boards have been great - easy to inflate, nice and stable. They roll up pretty small, so we’ve driven them around on vacations with no issues. No durability issues. We just had to replace the screw for one fin. The pumps look like clown toys, but they actually work well.

was actually looking at those this morning. Glad to hear you like them.

They aren't inflatable nor cheap, but the most beautiful SUPs are made

one day I'd consider a top of the line board but right now its just ease of use for newbies. Inflatable is a must.

I don't have blow up ones,

so I can't help there. But, They are a TON of fun, great for exploring into different areas on a lake, and you can paddle and then lay down in the middle of the water and easily get off and back on.

And it's a work out to boot.

I highly recommend.

I got one for my wife.
It is extremely well made and can be found on sale.
I would also recommend an inflator.
I set it and a few minutes later it"s ready to go.
