Paddle Boards & SUP Equipment

Step Aboard and Embark on Your SUP Journey

Stand up paddleboarding, commonly known as SUP, is rapidly becoming one of the most popular water sports. The allure of paddle boarding lies in its relative ease of learning, allowing you the freedom to engage in diverse activities - it is both a sport and a delightful social pursuit to appreciate nature.

Whether you are interested in competitive paddle boarding, touring, or leisurely outings with a versatile board, paddle boarding offers something for everyone. It is best enjoyed in tranquil waters, making it perfect for oceans, lakes, rivers, and bays. Alternatively, for those who enjoy catching waves, a surf-specific SUP is available. Despite its reputation as an accessible water sport, numerous schools are available to teach beginners the fundamentals and proper techniques.

Owning your own paddle board equipment allows the convenience of choosing a board that matches your preferred style and design. Moreover, you can promptly hit the water during favourable weather, without the need for renting gear.

What Should I Do to Get Ready for Paddle Boarding?

Inflatable paddle boards are often favoured by novices over hard boards. The advantages of an inflatable SUP include their lightweight nature, while maintaining rigidity, and their travel-friendliness.

Apart from the board, there are several essential items needed before starting out. Firstly, acquiring a paddle is necessary since it is integral to manoeuvring your board. Another vital item is a leash, ensuring you remain connected to the board. If opting for an inflatable board, a pump will also be required.

Safety gear such as a helmet or life vest is often mandated when paddling in specific waters. Additionally, consider a wetsuit when paddling in colder conditions.
