A few tricks to correctly ride the inflatable stand up paddle board. Store your deflated SUP lying flat. When storing your board deflated, it’s a great idea to use your board bag to protect it from abrasions. Make sure it’s clean, dry and rolled or folded loosely. Then store your board in it’s backpack or bag so it’s laying on its side rather than upright or standing on the edges of the board where pressure points could form. Although your board will have creases at the start of the season if stored deflated, they’ll go away once the board has been inflated again.
Most inflatable SUP options are made from PVC and are very light. They are also easier to transport, due to the fact that you can deflate them and pack in a much smaller travel bag. They are easy to carry due to their weight and have excellent flotation. Most beginners prefer an inflatable SUP. There are many factors to consider when choosing an inflatable SUP. What is your experience/skill level? What type of waves do you plan on surfing? What is more important to you: stability or performance? After you ask yourself these questions, you can then choose a design that will help you achieve those goals. There are lots of different shapes within the inflatable SUP sub-genre, so it’s important to figure out what you want to do with your SUP, then figure out what board will get you there most efficiently.
Low impact workout: If you’re not at the peak of fitness, or looking for a good way to lose a few pounds and tone up your muscle, this is a really good, low impact way to start. Even paddling through the water to get on your SUP uses muscles and if you’re not used to using them, you’ll notice it. Unlike some sports, you are far less likely to damage tendons or ligaments, as the power you use and the speed you travel are all under your own control. You’re under no pressure to do more than you are capable off as well. You choose what you do and when you do it.
