Inflatable or hard SUP… what’s best for you?

With so much board choice it can be hard to know where to start when buying a SUP. But definitely the first and biggest decision you need to make it whether to go inflatable or hard?

It’s not as simple as just whether or not you can be bothered to pump it up! There’s lots more to consider… such as how you’re going to store and transport it, board weight, time to set up, how it feels and performs on the water, what type of paddling you plan to do, how tough you are on your kit, how much money you have to spend etc… We hope you find this video useful and it gets you thinking and making the right decision, about which is best for you… inflatable or hard?
