The Mental Health Benefits Of Paddle Boarding

For every adventurer, there’s a board for every skill level, and every water condition. In this in-depth guide, we’ll be focusing on 

 (also called an iSUP) and we’ll be covering: the benefits of choosing an iSUP over a 

, the differences between all of our inflatable boards, and some frequently asked questions!

The first question to ask when choosing a board is: do I want an 

 (also called an epoxy SUP)? The top five contributing factors we like to look at are: portability, storage space, durability, performance, and cost.

Inflatables are the easiest type of paddle board to transport, and you don’t need a large truck, SUV, or van, because when deflated, inflatables roll up like a sleeping bag, and fit in a carrying bag for easy storage and transportation. For those wanting a board that doesn’t take up much space in your homes, 

 are great for taking up minimal space. As for durability, iSUPs don’t get damaged easily, so you don’t have to worry about scratches, or dropping your iSUP by accident.

When it comes to performance, iSUPs provide great quality use. However, our hard boards perform great in regard to speed and precision because they aren’t as thick as our iSUPs, so for those looking to do activities such as SUP surfing, SUP racing, and long-distance paddling, our 

 are a great choice. Nonetheless, when it comes to cost, iSUPs are much more affordable, and are a great long-term investment.

 is our best-selling stand up paddle board! Stable, lightweight, and extremely durable, this SUP is built for a wide range of activities and skill levels. We recommend this board for beginners because of its all-around versatile nature, and it’s extra-wide build for added balance. Feel free to take a casual paddle, try SUP yoga, SUP fishing, or bring your pup along for the ride on this iSUP.

This board is 10’6″ and has a capacity of 285 LBS. Available in blue, coral, or green.

 is our highest performing inflatable paddle board. We made this board with the adventurous paddler in mind, implementing a high-construction build that has a touring shape for a faster paddle, and extra bungees for all your gear. The pointed nose on this board effortlessly cuts through headwind, providing a narrow build with its added length. Portable, durable, and functional, the Explorer will carry you and your gear on any body of water, near and far.

This board is 11’6″ and has a capacity of 300 LBS. Available in blue or green.

 is soft, wide, and has a full-length traction pad. Offering 11 feet in length and 33 inches in width, its optimal surface area offers the perfect space for activities such as yoga or bringing another passenger along!

This board is 11’0″ and has a capacity of 315 LBS. Available in blue or coral.

 is our multi-person stand up paddle board, and the largest SUP in our collection! It can fit you, your friends, family, dogs, and gear—potentially at the same time. The 12’0″ can fit anywhere from 2-4 people (ideal for two) and the 15’0″ can fit 2-6 people (ideal for 4).

This board comes in a 12’0″ size (650 LBS capacity) or 15’0″ (1050 LBS capacity). Available in blue.

If you still need help deciding which board to choose for yourself, or your loved ones, feel free to take our 

 comes with an accessory kit that includes a: fin, leash, manual pump, carrying bag, paddle, and iSUP repair kit.

The Megalodon, however, does not come with a carrying bag because of its size. We do carry a specialized 

 for this iSUP that can be purchased separately. This bag comes in two different sizes, designed specifically for the 12′ and 15′ Megalodon. It is large enough to fit the board and all of its accessories to make transporting to and from the water a breeze.

As a note, the Megalodon only comes with two paddles, a fin, and a pump. This board does not come with a leash, as we do not recommend it for this board due to its size.

How Long Does It Take To Inflate An iSUP?

An iSUP takes about 5-10 minutes to inflate with the manual pump, or you can purchase an 

 separately, which you can plug into the 12V adapter in your car to make inflating your board a breeze!

What Are These Made Of? Are They Durable?

 are very durable! They are constructed with a dual layer, military grade, drop stitch construction that provides excellent rigidity and performance for all-around use. The boards all have drop stitch construction from nose to tail to ensure maximum rigidity when inflated. For a more rigid material, check out our 

What Are The Advantages Of An Inflatable Over A Hard Board?

 comes down to transportation and storage. Being able to inflate and deflate your iSUP means you don’t need a specific type of car or accessory to be able to move your board to and fro.

After each use, it is best to rinse your paddle board off with fresh water to remove any dirt, debris, or residue. If there is dirt that cannot be rinsed away, a mild dish soap or cleaner can be used. We recommend using one that does not contain any harsh chemicals or bleach to ensure no damage is done to the board while cleaning.

Is The Fin Universal Or Unique To These Boards?

The center fin is a standard center fin box, compatible with any standard center fin so you can change it out as needed for a shorter or longer one.

How To Choose An Inflatable Paddle Board

What makes life adventurous? Would you say going to the grocery store is just as adventurous as a solo trip across the country? Or would you deem the day to day tasks in your routine as simply ordinary? As the days go by, even the most adventurous soul out there goes through time periods or seasons of life where they don’t feel as adventurous as they once were.

When you look up the word adventure, there are a few variations that will come up for a definition. The first one provided by 

 says adventure is “an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks” or “an exciting or remarkable experience.” Now, the word “danger” isn’t something that we’d like to include in our definition of adventurous, but what if we looked at it differently? Maybe adventure is dangerous because it scares away our comfort zones and fears. Maybe the only dangerous thing we need in our lives is to break up with the thought that we can never step outside what feels comfortable because it’s too risky.

One of our favorite definitions for adventure provided by 

 is this: “to proceed despite risk.” Adventure is very much saying “yes” to meeting new people, trying new things, visiting new places, taking on new hobbies, and ultimately, saying “no” to living within your comfort zone for too long. When you first tried 

, it was that sense of adventure that encouraged you to try, even if it meant falling into the water when you lost your balance. So what else will you say yes to?

As you go through your daily routines, it’s normal to wonder how you can reinvigorate your mind, body, and soul again, but it’s even more important to remember that it’s never too late to regain your sense of adventure. Life can take some really unexpected turns—which makes it the perfect playing ground to make being adventurous a practice, more than it is a feeling. 

 that adventure looks different for everyone: our brains may view creating new art pieces just as exciting as 

 is, and we can’t help but to agree. Adventure comes in all sizes, so whether you take a calm paddle on the water, or try to beat your own personal PR when 

, trying something new on the water is a key practice that can help you maintain your sense of adventure.

Paired with trying new things, is not letting fear or comparison control you. How many times have you scrolled past your social media feeds, all to feel like you’re missing out, or to feel like maybe you’re too young or too old to something? You’d be surprised to find how much you’re capable of when you choose to step outside your comfort zone to try something new. That 

 you’ve always wanted to go on? We think it’s finally time you take the plunge (and 

 of course). The way you’ve always wanted to see if you can 

? There’s a way to do that too. But it takes practice, and it starts by saying “yes” to the things that make you feel alive.

THE ART OF A LIFE THAT’S BETTER IN BALANCE

The art of a life that’s better in balance doesn’t come by repeating “I love my mind, body, and soul” over and over again—it comes from feeding the needs of your mind, body, and soul. We’re no doctors, but we can all agree that deep down inside our minds, bodies, and souls, there’s a yearning to explore new places, to receive relaxation that doesn’t feel rushed, and adventure that never ends. So we’re going to ask you again: what will you say yes to?

How To Regain Your Sense Of Adventure

 is the fastest growing sport in the world for good reason. Not only is it a great workout and easy to learn, paddle boarding is also fun, invigorating and enables you to connect with nature. While you have a number of options, selecting your first paddle board doesn’t need to be any more challenging than learning the craft.

How to choose a stand up paddle board—or SUP board—comes down to your lifestyle, what you plan to use it for, and of course, the paddle board’s price. If you’re not 100% sure which SUP is the best fit for your goals, you’ve come to the right place.

In order to find the best stand up paddle board, it’s important to know the difference between each type.

Be advised that there can be some crossover, as most people will use their paddle boards for multiple types of activities, such as SUP surfing, recreational use, touring, and even racing. Below, you’ll find the four most common types of 

 based on your weight and paddle boarding experience. Think of your ideal board size in terms of volume. The wider, longer, and thicker the board, the more volume and weight capacity it will have. The more volume the board has, the more stable it will be on the water.

Beginner paddlers will usually want a wider board with more volume as well as thickness because of the additional stability this offers. As your skill, balance, and strength improve, you can downsize to a board with less volume. By then, your older board will be great for friends and family to use!

 to find out what size paddle board is best for you.

Another aspect to consider as part of the SUP size is the design of your board’s hull, also called the “bottom” of the board. The hull determines the characteristics of how your board performs in the water. The two most common types of paddle board hulls are:

 – A planing hull is essentially a flat bottom board. This makes them very stable, and also ideal for surfing because as the name implies they will “plane” quickly when they reach higher speeds when surfing. Most paddle boards in the ISLE range are planing hull as they are ideal for stability while still offering excellent glide and a smooth ride.

 – A displacement hull has a sharply pointed nose that displaces the water to either side, making it the perfect choice for paddlers who want to cover long distances. The sharper nose allows the hull to slice through the water and gives the rider a fast and smooth ride. Most touring boards are designed with a displacement hull, allowing the rider to travel longer distances with ease.

3. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INFLATABLE AND EPOXY SUPS

Once you’ve figured out the type and size of SUP you want, it’s time to decide if you want an 

, also known as epoxy boards. There are many differences between inflatable and epoxy paddle boards.

When determining whether an inflatable or epoxy SUP is right for you, it really depends on your budget and

4. WHERE WILL YOU STORE YOUR PADDLE BOARD?

A big concern a lot of people have before buying a SUP is where they will store it at their house. To keep your board in great condition and increase its lifespan, you’ll want to minimize its exposure to the elements when not in use.

Regardless of the type of climate where you live, it is highly recommended that you keep your stand up paddle board indoors when not in use. For all boards, the key is to keep your SUP in a cool dark location where it is safe and protected. 

5. ON AVERAGE, HOW MUCH DO PADDLE BOARDS COST?

Often a large part of the deciding factor is the price of a stand up paddle board. You don’t want a super expensive board, but you also don’t want to buy a cheap board (read: not long lasting) just to save money. It’s important to do your research to compare boards and companies when it comes to paddle board cost and quality. The paddle board price breakdown is as follows: 

Often cheaper boards sacrifice quality, materials, and design to achieve their lower price. Be wary, the board may not last as long as one constructed with higher quality materials.

High quality, great performance, artistically designed and moderately priced. There’s not much more you can want from a paddle board. This is what we like to consider the sweet spot when it comes to paddle boards. Most of ISLE’s SUPs fall within this price range. Additionally, we have many high performance boards, without the high performance cost.
