Solid Paddle Board Vs Inflatable Paddle Board - Which Is Best?
Written by Luke Green /
Can’t decide whether to buy an inflatable or solid paddle board? Well hopefully the following guide should help you out. Both solid and inflatable SUPs have their own benefits, with some being better suited to certain activities and abilities than others. Ultimately, finding the perfect SUP all comes down to your individual requirements. However, in order to help you decide between the two, it helps to consider the following factors:
Portability & Storage
One of the major benefits of inflatable paddle boards is that they deflate and pack down to a small size, making them super easy to transport. In fact, our Compact Paddle Boards fold down to half the size of a conventional inflatable SUP, fitting neatly into our Compact Backpack, which is comfortable to carry by foot, bike or public transport. All our other inflatable paddle boards can be fitted into the All Terrain Backpack that’s made using a stash-able carry system to prevent straps from getting caught in airport luggage systems. This makes it easy for you to take your SUP with you, wherever your adventures take you.
