Product Information

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.

The design includes neoprene handles at the nose, rear and centre for easy manoeuvring, a kick pad for quick turns, and an integrated GoPro mount on the nose to help you capture your watery voyages. Rigid SUPs tend to be for more intermediate-level users who have greater confidence and skills on the water. Ancient though they may be, stand-up paddle boards have had a very contemporary boom, and while the weather this summer hasn't been what we have all dreamed of, there are still paddle boarders galore on the waterways of London, in the sea in Brighton and on the Lakes of Cumbria. Some paddle boards are perfect for those who like to go on adventures with their dog ( like this one), or a few friends to paddle together ( like this large 10-person design).As well as a height adjustable paddle, it includes a pump with a pressure gauge to inflate it to the correct capacity (15psi). The Sierra Designs 800 20 is all designed to make nights in the great outdoors more comfortable – no zips required! One of the best thought-out bits of design though is the bag it comes in, which has a big zip along the front to get the bits in and out easily, and has lots of extra room so you don’t have to fully deflate the board and fold it perfectly to get it in. Also consider: Red Paddle Co's Ride MSL used to top our beginner paddle board guide and is a versatile, easy-to-ride SUP with everything you need to get started included in the package.

This 15ft whopper from Red Paddle Co, a company which has had miscellaneous other models featured on this round-up, is a roomy model designed with duos in mind. As a family we’ve all tried SUP’s before, but mainly in Greece where it really doesn’t matter if you fall in the sea.Some 25 per cent lighter than standard boards and 30 per cent stiffer thanks to its double-layer coating, this Gul paddleboard almost resembles a surfboard and, fittingly, will serve you well in catching small waves, too. It's made from military grade PVC and has a UV-resistant coating for a board built to last a lifetime. From a safety perspective, and as recommended by our colleagues at British Canoeing, for general paddling in flat water users should use a coiled leash to keep hold of their board, and for surfing a long straight cord is better.
