Paddle Board Parts for Your SUP

While there aren’t many components to consider for a SUP, a few paddle board accessories can enhance your water experience. If you're using an inflatable paddle board, a reliable iSUP pump is essential to inflate your board before heading out. There are hand pumps and electric pumps, with the latter requiring significantly less effort.

Regarding paddle board fins, there are essentially three types to choose from: flatwater SUP board fins, all-around multi-fins, and SUP race fins. The most common are the flatwater fins, so if you purchased an iSUP, you should opt for flatwater or multi-fins.

In this category, you will also find crucial SUP leashes. They come in either a coil or straight design: coiled leashes are typically preferred as they curl up on the deck, eliminating leash drag in the water; straight leashes are more recommended for surfing waves.

Other common accessories for your SUP include paddle board bags, vent plugs, and paddle covers. If you're considering buying an inflatable stand up paddle board but are unsure which type to get, check out our video for some useful advice: Buying a SUP Board.
