The Perfect Family Paddleboard

The Perfect Family Paddleboard

The Perfect Family Stand Up Paddleboard

Sup is our all-around Stand Up Paddleboard for flat water and small waves really popular with family’s, beginners and wave surfers.

and if you have a family then its going to be fun for the whole family days at the beach will never be the same again beat the crouds and get out on the water

1 The Tech Stuff

It’s got an EPS  foam core combined with epoxy shell making this board super durable and light weight (10KG) for a board of this size. The shape of the  board provides perfect volume displacement when on the flats, making this board super stable and really forgiving in any conditions. Whilst the outline gives it tonnes of drive when on the waves.

The slightly wider and thicker rails are going to provide a stable platform when paddling and trying to catch waves whilst a foiled out tail is going to keep the board nice and responsive when performing manoeuvres.

2 Whos it for? 

We gave this board   a tri fin set up so that it will turn on waves in the same way as a surfboard . You will feel that instant response the thruster provides. On the base and deck of the board, you can see a bamboo design as well as the EVA deck pad with an integrated carry handle, making transporting this board easier to  and from the beach.

We would recommend this board for absolute beginner’s  and families looking to start paddle boarding as well as intermediates looking to start surfing waves.

Skill level – Beginner – Intermediate
Wave height – 1- 5 foot

(3) Low Impact

Stand Up  Paddleboarding is a great way to get exercise with a low impact, because of the position of paddling and the movement required to pull you through the water it is unlikely that you will do damage to the tendons and ligaments of your joints or have any breakages or spinal issues. Because of the minimal movement required sport, it is possible to use up a lot of calories without damaging your joints. whereas in other more explosive sports like tennis or running there would be a higher risk of experiencing shin splints or possible knee and hip pain.

(6) Improves your mood

Obviously paddling is a great relaxer, as we live an ever more frantic and busy world, taking the time just to quiet the mind and enjoy the ocean has never been more important and can be a great destresser. Reducing stress by getting back to nature and doing something you love can help relax the mind whilst also releasing serotonin and endorphins in the brain giving you the feeling of happiness. this feeling combined with the psychological benefit and social aspects can help hugely help decrease the feelings of depression and greatly improve your mood.

(7) Improve Your Balance

It’s a no-brainer that from the first time you stand on a board to the years later it defiantly helps to improve balance otherwise, you might still be swimming more than you want to.Balance is also a great attribute to have in almost every other sport as well as everyday life activity’s. if you train at a high level in sports such as football or basketball, rugby stand Up Paddleboarding can be great for improving your balance as well as strengthen the ankle and joint through stability training as well as limit possible injury’s and help strengthen weaker areas…

(8) A Surfing Alternative

And a damn good one, if you’re one with the ocean and can get enough of it then you probably do more than just surf a shortboard… you probably longboard, kitesurf, windsurf, and sup. supping is especially good for those flatter days and for people just starting out who need a lot more stability and volume to their board, it’s a great alternative for people who have difficulty or fear of surfing. The great thinking about stand up is you can almost get anyone from any age trying it from age 8-80 if you struggle going out on the water in surfing or other water sports supping allows you to get out there and catch the waves and enjoy the surf with your friends.

(9) Yoga

Yoga and paddle boarding are a perfect combo as yoga can be very spiritual and using the paddleboard surroundings as a catalyst for a more enjoyable and relaxing experience is a great idea. Using the paddleboarding adds an extra dimension of balance to the activity. This can be a lot of fun as well as very challenging for someone who is already an experienced practitioner of yoga. In addition, the ambience that is associated with paddle boarding is far more pleasant and relaxing than being in a cramped gym or fitness studio. The sun and water will enhance the experience greatly.

(10) Bigger Muscles Less Injury’s

Useful for rehabilitation injuries: Because of its low impact nature, paddle boarding can be a useful tool for people in rehab to gently increase strength without doing any harm. It is very gentle on your muscles and joints. After spending a day out on a paddleboard, it’s natural to feel a little sore all over your body. But soreness is a good thing because that means you are building up your overall body strength improving your muscles power strength and stamina and over a long time this exercise will allow hypertrophy of the heart and you to become fitter.
