A few tips to correctly ride the stand up inflatable paddle board. Abrasive elements like dirt, salt, and sand, can cause undue wear and tear to your SUP. Use the comfy carry handles or a handy shoulder strap to carry your SUP at all times. It shouldn’t be dragged through the parking lot or even over sand when in use. Built up grit that’s left on your board can also cause damage to the valve or the PVC material your board is made of when it’s rolled and stored. If you store your board wet, mildew and bacteria can make for unpleasant smells and gradually eat away at your board too.
Paddles for inflatable SUP: You can buy the best inflatable SUP out there, but without a good paddle you won’t get very far. Getting a quality paddle that works well with your body and paddling style will make stand up paddle boarding a bunch more fun. Does that mean you have to buy a top-of-the-line paddle? Not necessarily. To choose the right inflatable SUP paddle for you, consider these factors: Getting the right size paddle is key to maintaining proper paddling form and efficiency. The materials used to construct a SUP paddle play a role in determining the weight and stiffness of the paddle. Generally, a lightweight paddle is preferred, but keep in mind that you usually pay more for less weight. Blade size, shape and offset: The size, shape and offset of the paddle blade define how the blade moves through the water. You’ll choose a blade based on the type of paddling you do, your body type and personal preference. Usually, the larger you are, the bigger you’ll want your blade to be.
Low impact workout: If you’re not at the peak of fitness, or looking for a good way to lose a few pounds and tone up your muscle, this is a really good, low impact way to start. Even paddling through the water to get on your SUP uses muscles and if you’re not used to using them, you’ll notice it. Unlike some sports, you are far less likely to damage tendons or ligaments, as the power you use and the speed you travel are all under your own control. You’re under no pressure to do more than you are capable off as well. You choose what you do and when you do it.

One more inflatable stand up paddle board advice: Look at the horizon: When we first start paddling the natural temptation is to look down at the board, to watch the water lapping at the sides and to pray we aren’t going to fall in! However for the best stability, you want to keep your head up, back straight and your body weight over your toes. It sounds silly but with your head down watching you’re toes, you are likely to rock back on your heals and then hello water! Watch this video by Sam Ross about standing up on your SUP.
