The Advantages of Inflatable Paddle Boards

If you're considering taking up paddle boarding, you may be wondering what kind of board to buy. There are inflatable and hard boards to choose from, and both have their pros and cons. In this blog post, we'll be discussing the advantages of inflatable paddle boards so that you can understand why inflatables are truly the best option for modern paddlers.

Inflatable paddle boards have a number of advantages over hard boards. For one, they're more durable. If you hit a rock or branch while paddling on an inflatable board, the board will bounce off without sustaining any damage. On the other hand, a hard board will almost certainly sustain damage if it hits something while you're paddling.  That is why the best inflatable stand up paddleboards on the market can offer an amazing lifetime warranty.

Inflatable paddle boards are also easier to carry and store than hard boards. They can be deflated and rolled up for easy transport and storage. Hard boards, on the other hand, are bulky and difficult to transport without a car or truck.  This opens up loads of opportunity for exploring different waterways and lakes that you never would dream to lug up a heavy hard board to.  You can even pile 4 or 6 in the back of your jeep and head out for a fun day with your mates without being a kilometer high road hazzard.

 Another advantage of inflatable paddle boards is that they ride just as well as hard boards. In fact, many people believe that they ride better than hard boards because they're more stable in choppy water. And since they're more stable, they're also safer for beginners.  Especially a stable all around board that is designed to be easy and fun to ride because it is not only super stable, but also really easy to turn about.

 As you can see, there are many advantages to inflatable paddle boards. If you're thinking about taking up paddle boarding, an inflatable board is definitely the way to go. They're more durable, easier to carry and store, and they ride just as well as hard boards. So what are you waiting for?
