Storing an inflatable paddleboard is much easier than with a traditional hard board, since you can deflate it, roll it up and keep it in its compact storage bag in a closet, shelf, cabinet or the trunk of your car.
What I like about them is that they are the perfect size – about 10″ deep, so they can accommodate an inflatable SUP with no problem. They are also sturdy, so they can easily handle the weight of your gear (and then some).

Before you make the decision to purchase a stand up paddle board (SUP), there are 3 different types of paddle board constructions that you should know about.
What makes the different types of stand up paddle boards type unique from one another? It’s simple. They are all constructed of different materials, which means each type of paddle board will perform slightly different from one another. Depending on your lifestyle and needs, one type of paddle board may be better suited for you. Below is a quick guide on the 3 types of paddle boards available.
Inflatable stand up paddle boards have been rising in popularity over the years because they are the easiest boards to store at home and transport to and from the water. All you have to do is pump up your board to the suggested PSI and you’re ready to paddle. Surprisingly enough, inflatable stand up paddle boards are just as rigid as epoxy boards because they are constructed with drop stitch technology and high-density PVC layers that creates a solid SUP. Modern iSUPs are extremely stable which makes them great for beginners.

Hello from Alameda! In 2013 I decided to leave my professional career as a Finance and HR manager at UCSF and start my own business. Before then I had been working in offices since I graduated from college and doing a lot of paddling on the weekend (mainly kayaking and rafting). I had developed severe back pain from all of the sitting activities in my life: sitting in offices and meetings, sitting at home watching tv, sitting to drive to rivers and oceans, sitting paddling in kayaks and rafts. Just sitting all the time! I realized that I needed to make a change and hence STAND UP PADDLE!

Bluefin has a wide range of specialist boards: there's the Aura for yoga, the Tandem for two paddlers, and the Mammoth to carry all your friends and family, alongside SUPs focused on touring and beginners. The Voyage piles together everything into one board, making it a water-based platform for all your lake activities.
The Goosehill Sailor features an extra layer of lamination that the company calls Super Construction Enhancement Technology, which gives additional strength to the single dropstitch layer without much extra weight. That means this all-rounder works for everyone: it’s light enough for a child to carry, stable and easy to manoeuvre, and solidly supports up to 200kg in weight. more
There are a few other features to consider. SUPs come with tracking fins on the bottom of the board to help keep the board stable. Flat water may only require a single fin, but hitting the surf may warrant multiple fins. Some boards come with camera mounts, which are handy for jealousy-inducing Instagram accounts, and most feature bungee cords at the front to secure necessities.

Paddle boards are a trade-off between stability and performance. Beginners will want a wider, shorter board with more flotation, which means it’s likely to be thicker – but that means more drag in the water, so you’ll go slower. Those looking for speed or better performance will need a thinner, longer board. When choosing a board, check the weight allowance to ensure that you and any passengers will stay afloat, and that it won’t take too much effort to paddle.
