ALLROUND SUP BOARDS
Allround SUP boards are best suited for beginners, families, or those seeking maximum stability. If we are deciding to purchase our first SUP, it will most likely be an allround SUP.
Allround SUP Boards: The Best Choice for Families and Beginners
Allround SUP boards are versatile, designed for stability, maneuverability, and fun. These boards are ideal for families, as they provide a solid platform for multiple riders, making them perfect for playing, paddling, and enjoying the water.
Why Choose an Allround SUP Board?
The biggest advantage of allround SUP boards is their stability, which makes them perfect for beginners. Unlike professional racing SUPs, allround boards are rigid, ensuring they don’t bend under waves or weight, keeping the paddler balanced.
For beginners, inflatable SUPs with at least 18 PSI (1.2 bar) are recommended, ensuring durability and a better riding experience.
Key Features of Allround SUP Boards
Stable & Wide Design
Allround SUP boards typically have a width of 32” to 34” (81–86 cm), ensuring excellent stability. Narrower boards are less stable, while wider ones are slower but steadier.
Maneuverability
With an average length of 10’ to 11’ (305–335 cm), allround SUPs are easy to turn and control, making them great for recreational paddling.
Fun & Playful
Thanks to their balanced design, allround SUP boards allow for quick turns and playful pivots, making them great for tricks and family fun.
Universal Use
From kids to grandparents, allround SUPs are user-friendly, providing a comfortable ride for all family members. However, stability also depends on the board's rigidity, determined by its inflation pressure.
How to Choose the Right Allround SUP Board?
When selecting a family SUP, consider:
- Who will use it? Are you buying for kids, playful activities, or for serious paddling?
- How often will it be used? Occasional summer use or regular trips to lakes and rivers?
- Durability & Quality
- Single-layer SUPs – Affordable but basic (shorter lifespan).
- Double-layer SUPs – More durable and rigid.
- MSL technology SUPs – Premium quality with a 5-year guarantee.
