Inflatable stand up paddle board reviews, comparisons and paddling adventures
I had heard a lot of good things about the Astro Blend inflatable SUP and was super psyched to try it out. I had several emails from people who had tested different boards and ended up buying the Blend and absolutely loved it. They gave it rave reviews and I couldn’t wait to try one. […]
While in Maui this year I was fortunate enough to meet up with the guys at the Naish Maui Pro Center and try out a few of their boards. The Glide Air was top of my list of of the Naish inflatable stand-up paddle boards that I wanted to try so I was really excited […]
This was my first time trying an Earth River inflatable SUP and I was very impressed. It feels very rugged and durable when inflated and performs well. The size of this ISUP makes it quite versatile, very responsive, easy to paddle and overall just a lot of fun. SPECS Material: High grade 1000 denier drop […]
I had been searching for awhile for some type of water resistant bag that I could wear while stand-up paddling to store my essentials like my car keys, phone, snacks, camera, etc. I have a waterproof backpack that is great for longer trips. Only problem is that it is big and bulky and there is […]

What it lacked in performance it made up for in stability. […]
A board leash is a must safety accessory if you get into stand-up paddle boarding. One end attaches just above your ankle and the other end attaches to the D-ring at the back end of your SUP. If you fall into the water, the leash ensures that you don’t lose your board. The last thing […]

Normally when I SUP I wear a waistpack PFD because I find it is more comfortable than wearing a normal lifejacket.
