How long will my iSUP last? It's a very common question and probably one you have asked yourself.
As you can imagine, there are a whole range of factors that affect the longevity of your iSUP from how it was manufactured, the materials used, usage and care. We dive into each of these topics and answer the question, how long will my iSUP last?
