Best Stand Up Paddleboards Buying Guide
Before choosing the best stand up paddle board you should consider following options:
1. How you plan to use the board: The first thing you need to do is figure out how you are going to use the board. Are you going to use it for fitness, touring, racing, or something else?
This will help you to determine the best type of board to suit your needs. For example, if you plan to do a lot of touring, then you will want to get a board with more volume.
This will help with stability, especially in the water. If you are a racer, then you will want a board that is narrower to go faster.
2. Your body type: If you are a larger person, then you will want to get a board that is wider to support your weight.
If you are a smaller person, then you will want a board that is narrower to go faster. If you are in between, then you can probably get away with just about any board.
3. Location: Are you going to use the board in a lake or on the ocean? The reason this is important is because different boards perform better in different environments.
For example, if you live on the east coast, where the water is exceptionally shallow, you will want a board with lots of volume to keep the board above the water.
On the other hand, if you live on the west coast where the water is deep, then you will want a board with less volume to go faster.
4. Your budget: You can get a decent board for $200 or less, but you can also spend hundreds, even thousands, on a board.
The price will be determined by the materials it is made of, the quality of the materials, and the features it has.
If you want a board with lots of features, then you will probably have to pay a little more.
5. Where you plan to buy it: There are many places you can get a stand up paddleboard. You can get it online, at a sporting goods store, or at a specialty shop.
Depending on where you buy it will determine the warranty it comes with and the customer service you get.
You can also usually get discounts when you buy from a specialty shop.
6. Your experience: The more experience you have on a board, the narrower you can get it.
If you are new to paddle boarding, then you probably want a board with a little more width and volume to help you maneuver.
7. Your environment: The type of environment you paddle in will affect your board choice.
If you paddle in saltwater, the board will degrade faster and probably won’t last as long as a board you use in fresh water.
