Choosing the right inflatable paddleboard can feel overwhelming, with so many options available.
In this SUPboarder video, we break down what really matters when choosing the right iSUP for your weight, ability, and the type of paddling you want to do.
We explain how length, width, and thickness affect performance on the water — from glide and speed, to stability and control. We also look at board shape, construction, why stiffness matters, and how board weight and pack-down size impact transport and storage.
We also cover different SUP types and why choosing a well-built board offers better performance, durability, and long-term value.
