Several tips to correctly use the inflatable stand up paddle board. Abrasive elements like dirt, salt, and sand, can cause undue wear and tear to your SUP. Use the comfy carry handles or a handy shoulder strap to carry your SUP at all times. It shouldn’t be dragged through the parking lot or even over sand when in use. Built up grit that’s left on your board can also cause damage to the valve or the PVC material your board is made of when it’s rolled and stored. If you store your board wet, mildew and bacteria can make for unpleasant smells and gradually eat away at your board too.
Paddles for inflatable SUP: You can buy the best inflatable SUP out there, but without a good paddle you won’t get very far. Getting a quality paddle that works well with your body and paddling style will make stand up paddle boarding a bunch more fun. Does that mean you have to buy a top-of-the-line paddle? Not necessarily. To choose the right inflatable SUP paddle for you, consider these factors: Getting the right size paddle is key to maintaining proper paddling form and efficiency. The materials used to construct a SUP paddle play a role in determining the weight and stiffness of the paddle. Generally, a lightweight paddle is preferred, but keep in mind that you usually pay more for less weight. Blade size, shape and offset: The size, shape and offset of the paddle blade define how the blade moves through the water. You’ll choose a blade based on the type of paddling you do, your body type and personal preference. Usually, the larger you are, the bigger you’ll want your blade to be.
Stress relief: With daily life becoming increasingly stressful, simply getting away from it all can be a huge relief. Stress is a killer. It can cause many health issues, including heart problems and it stops you from thinking clearly. Reducing stress can improve your mind so you can think clearly, and this is a huge benefit to everyone’s life. Less stress can also improve your overall autoimmune system so you feel generally healthier.

Quick Inflation: Inflatable with a manual hand pump in 10 minutes to 15 psi max.
An extra inflatable stand up paddle board advice: To non surfers or regular water goers, it is not immediately obvious which end is the front/nose of the board. Many beginner boards are large round nose and tail boards with excellent stability, often a large EVA deck area so you can move (and fall) comfortably. So before you jump on the board, check where the fins are and make sure they are in the back when you paddle! Fins at the back help keep the board straight while you paddle, this is called tracking, and help with grip while you surf waves. Fins up front make for a very twitchy paddle board that just won’t go straight no matter how hard you try!
