SUP yoga and Pilates are other ways to use a stand up paddle board, while some convert to inflatable kayaks so you can experience a more comfortable, seated adventure. Though unlikely to happen, it's essential to be aware of punctures, the RNLI advises, and it's important to keep an eye on the seams over time. Rinsing the boards after they've been in salt water and keeping them out of the sun when they're not being used is advisable.

As our appreciation for outdoor adventures continues to grow, with lakes and mountain holidays and camping trips with the family as appealing as ever, we can't think of a better time to invest in a stand-up paddle board to get exploring.Of course, there are downsides to choosing an inflatable paddle board over a solid one. They're lighter than solid boards so they're slower in windy conditions. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Experienced paddlers who can handle both calm and choppy water might choose a touring SUP board, or one that's fit for yoga or fishing. Inflatable paddle boards are easier to store once deflated too, and you can roll them up with ease to carry on your travels at home and abroad. Construction is a key consideration, but usually an easily resolved one. The days of stand-up paddle boards being mainly solid fibreglass or expanded foam have long gone. If you have a campervan or live next to the water, then a solid construction will make sense, as these are almost indestructible and perform much better in the water. But if that's not the case (which it won't be for most), then you'll want one of the new breeds of inflatable SUPs.

Able to withstand class III and IV rapids, it features eight self-bailing ports, ample tie-down points and a front action camera mount to capture it all.

Then there's the length of the board: a longer board is great for fast paddling and long-distance touring, while a short board (around eight feet long) are ideal for surfing or children. A medium 10ft to 12ft board is a great all-rounder, and for SUP yoga. Your skill level could also determine the type of board you buy. Inflatable paddle boards are ideal for beginners and often come in wider designs, which newbies prefer. They also hurt less if you fall on them and while hard boards are known for offering better performance and speed, an inflatable board has numerous advantages - including cost. They also take time to inflate before you can head out on the water. You'll want to buy an electric pump for ease.
