Stand Up Paddle Kauai boards allow as well as they can harm<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Paddle<\/span><\/p>\n

Paddle Boards<\/a><\/em> are a serious investment and you\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019re fully committed before you pull the trigger. The main specs that you\u2019ll want to pay attention to are width, length, weight and construction. You\u2019ll notice that all of these components tie into one another. If your board is wider and longer it\u2019ll be able to handle more weight. Depending on whether it\u2019s solid, or inflatable this will also impact the amount of weight it can hold.<\/p>\n

For an all around board we recommend looking for Stand Up Paddle Kauai<\/a><\/em> that is 30-34\u2033 in width. This will give you a nice wide base to plant your feet on. Until you master the art of balancing on a SUP, a wider base will put you in a position to generate power with your paddle without losing your balance. In terms of length my preference is somewhere between a 10 or 11 footer. If your board is much longer than 14\u2032 you\u2019re probably looking at a race board which will be narrower. If it\u2019s shorter then 10\u2032 you\u2019re entering surf SUP territory.<\/p>\n
