Several tips to correctly use the stand up inflatable paddle board. Dry your inflatable stand up paddle board AFTER you rinse and BEFORE you store it. Make sure your board is dry before putting it away for storage. Also make sure that wherever it’s stored will stay dry too – not partially dry, not only dry on sunny days, but always dry. Although inflatable SUPs are durable and built for the water, leaving them wet or in a damp place can cause damage over time. It’s not that a SUP would be unusable after improperly storing it, but you’ll probably have to spend some time to clean it off before going out. More importantly, improperly storing your board regularly will cause deterioration in the long-run.

Wave Riding vs Paddling: What will you be doing on your inflatable SUP? If the answer is that you will just be casually paddling on flat water, you will be looking for a larger and more stable board. Something that is easy to paddle, very stable and you can even do SUP Yoga on. We highly recommend the Pakaloa SUP. Wanting to hit the waves and surf? Then you need a smaller, less stable board, that will be better on the surf. It needs to be manoeuvrable and able to do sharp turns. You also need to be able to punch it through the surf zone to get out to the backline, so you don’t want a large inflatable SUP. We would recommend the Pakaloa SUP. The last category is for more advanced paddlers, being SUP racing and downwind paddles. If you plan on racing you need a very specific type of inflatable SUP. This inflatable SUP needs to be long and narrow for speed, it will be more unstable at first, but as you get used to paddling it, this will get better.

Less fatigue: As you build up your muscles, you will feel generally stronger. If your muscles are working properly, this means that simple tasks which may leave you feeling fatigued, are now easier for you to do. Add to that the advantage of being outdoors in fresh air, and you get an even bigger boost to your fatigue levels. The big advantage to paddle boarding is that you don’t even notice the increase, as it happens so gradually.

Another inflatable stand up paddle board trick: Paddling with your core: I.E. Don’t use your arms. This may sound a little weird at first but paddling is best done by your core. These are the strongest muscles of your body and provide the most effective power for your paddle stroke. Standing up tall and using just your arms to paddle, will be very tiring and you won’t get much power. Watch this video for more on paddle technique: Stand up paddle board basics – Using Your Core.
