It's true that finding a paddle board that fits not only your experience but also your style and type of adventure can enhance your overall experience. Choosing the right paddle board can make all the difference in your enjoyment of the sport.

There are several styles and features that you should consider when choosing a paddle board:

Material: Paddle boards are usually made of foam, fiberglass, plastic or PVC drop-stitch material. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages, such as durability, weight and ease of storage. We have loads of options for inflatable SUPs.

Deck pad: A non-slip deck pad provides traction and grip on the board, preventing slips and falls while paddling.

Handles: Handles allow you to carry and transport the board easily. They can be located at the nose, tail or middle of the board. The Body Glove Boards and Nautica Boards have patented multi-functional carry handles/water bottle holders.

Bungee cords: Bungee cords are mounted on the deck of paddle boards to allow users to store, carry or transport gear or other items. Bungees can range from 4-8 straps going across either the front of the board or the back.

Colors: The colorway of a paddle board can add a touch of personalization and style to your gear, making it not only functional but also visually appealing. Ultimately, the choice of color way is dependent on your personal preference and choosing the right board color way can enhance the overall enjoyment of your paddling experience.

Removable Seats: These are padded seats that can be attached to certain boards with straps and buckles. They provide a comfortable and stable seating option for those who want to sit while paddling.

Foam Roller: Foam rollers can be added to some paddle boards to create a fitness platform for balance training and strengthening exercises.

Fins: All paddle boards will have some form of fin attachment, which can either be removable or permanently attached, depending on the board. Many of the boards available in our inventory feature a triple true tracking durable fin design. This design ensures that the fins are already securely attached in a way that promotes stability and smooth navigation through the water.

Camera Attachment: These attachments provide a seamless way to mount cameras onto your board, allowing you to capture stunning videos and photos while on the water. Whether you want to document your skills, explore beautiful scenery or share your experiences with others, a camera attachment enhances your ability to capture and share the excitement of your paddle board journeys.

Angler accessory plate: Provides a stable and secure platform for attaching fishing gear. You can easily mount rod holders, fish finders, GPS devices, cameras and other fishing accessories, ensuring they stay firmly in place during your fishing trips.
