They are constructed with a military grade outer skin that is ding-resistant and can withstand daily abuse \u2013 without causing any damage. Inflatable SUPs are ideal for families, rentals, boaters, and especially travelers because they deflate and roll up to the size of a sleeping bag.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;\">RACE<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;\">The SUP race scene has gotten more popular \u2013 and so has our race board.

The most common construction method is epoxy and fiberglass wrapped around an EPS foam core, with one or several fins to help the board track in the water. A standup paddle board is much thicker than your average surfboard. Paddle boards typically range from 8 to 12 feet in length, 28 to 32 inches wide, and 4 to 5 inches thick. If you\u2019re just starting out, the best thing to do is select a wider, longer, thicker board. This type will offer the greatest stability to learn the paddleboard basics on a flat body of water. As you gain experience, you can progress to a much smaller board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;\">Paddle \u2013 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paddleboardkauai.com\/blog\/stand-paddle-kauai\/\">Stand Up Paddles<\/a><\/strong> come in a variety of constructions, from plastic, aluminum, wood, and carbon fiber \u2013 all with a variety of handle, blade and shaft shapes. The general rule is that a paddle used with your paddleboard should always be 6 to 10 inches above the height of the paddler. Size your paddle on the longer side for flat water use and the shorter side for use in the surf. The blade is typically bent at a slight angle to the shaft to allow for more forward reach when taking a stroke.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;\">Leash \u2013 A sup leash keeps your paddle board attached to you with a Velcro strap around your ankle (or calf) that is attached to the paddleboard. Leashes come in a variety of sizes, and the general rule is to use a leash around the same size or slightly smaller than your board. In the event of a fall, currents and winds can quickly sweep your paddle board away from you \u2013 and in the ocean, your board becomes a lethal weapon when carried with the force of an ocean wave. Always remember to use your leash!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;\">Board Bags \u2013 The majority of dings and blemishes happen outside of the water \u2013 usually in transportation or storage. Board bags will remove that dilemma and conveniently aid in traveling, as well as add years to your board\u2019s life. PFD (personal floatation device) \u2013 If you use your stand up paddle board beyond the limits of a swimming , surfing, or bathing area requires you to have a USCG-approved life vest.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/paddleboardkauai.com\/blog\/wailua-sup\/\">Wailua SUP<\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/paddleboardkauai.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"width: 900px; height: 400px;\" title=\"Wailua SUP\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/GBNRiqp.jpg\" alt=\"Wailua SUP\" width=\"2000\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;\">Follow these helpful tips for holding the paddle<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;\">Always grip the paddle with one hand on the top of the paddle and the other on the center of the shaft. Hold the paddle in front of you, with your elbows bent at 90 degrees. This should give you comfortable spacing for paddling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;\">When it comes to learning to paddle surf an &#8220;All Around&#8221; shape is usually a great shape to start on especially in smaller surf. The extra stability will allow you to paddle into the wave with confidence and the length will help your glide as your gain speed to enter the wave. Once on the wave an All Around shape will be very stable under the feet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: justify;\">While bigger is usually considered better for first time paddlers you might want to consider a smaller board for surfing. You will most likely want a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paddleboardkauai.com\/blog\/sup-wailua\/\">Wailua SUP<\/a><\/strong> that is as small as possible while still being stable enough for you to balance on.
