Stand Up Paddle Boarding: Board Selection

With roots in ancient Hawaiian tradition, stand up paddleboarding, or SUPing, has gained incredible traction over the past few years. Its appeal is almost universal, with different boards allowing for a wide range of uses, including surfing, flat water touring, yoga, racing, and exercise. Oftentimes, those new to SUPing will want to opt for an all-around board, which will function in a variety of conditions, allowing you to really experience the sport to its fullest potential! Still, with an almost oversaturated market, it can be difficult to pick the board that is best fitted to your SUPing aspirations. Because of that, it is important to understand the characteristics and accompanying advantages and disadvantages of different discipline-specific boards so you make the right choice!
