Paddle Boards & SUP Equipment

Get on Board and Start Your SUP Adventure

Stand up paddleboarding, commonly known as SUP, is rapidly becoming one of the most popular water sports. The beauty of paddleboarding lies in its ease of learning and the freedom it offers - it’s as much a sport as it is a social activity and a means to explore nature.

You can engage in competitive paddleboarding, touring, or simply take it easy with an all-around board. Paddleboarding is perfect on calm waters, allowing you to stand up paddle on oceans, lakes, rivers, and bays. Alternatively, if you prefer riding the waves, you can opt for a SUP designed for surfing. Although paddleboarding is considered an easier water sport to learn, numerous schools are available to teach you the basics and proper techniques.

Owning your paddleboard gear allows you to select the style and design of your board according to your preferences. Additionally, if the weather is favorable, you can head straight to the water without worrying about renting equipment.

How Do I Prepare for Paddle Boarding?

Most beginners start with an inflatable paddleboard rather than a solid one. The advantages of an inflatable SUP include being lightweight yet rigid and easier to transport.

In addition to the board, there are a few more essential pieces of equipment you need before starting. You’ll first need a paddle, as it’s crucial for maneuvering your board. Another essential item is a leash, which ensures you won’t get separated from your board. If you opt for an inflatable board, you will also need a pump.

Protective gear such as a helmet or life vest is often required in certain waters. Additionally, consider a wetsuit if you’re paddling in colder waters.
