We have carefully selected our quality supply partners. They are all established brands offering 3 year Warranties, with great track records, offering peace of mind for us and our customers.
A quality SUP and its accessories, well looked after, will last for many more years than the warranty, so investing in a quality board is well worth it in our opinion as there are many 'pop up' brands appearing, with no track record or warranties.
A minimum of 20 PSI pressure should be the minimum for a modern inflatable SUP in 2023.
Poor quality boards tent to drag and sag in the water and are not fabricated in a way to bring a required stiffness to a board, inhibiting the function of the board when being used properly.
When comparing, check how the boards are bonded- are they glued or heat bonded? And how is the drop stitching done - cross - or straight (the nylon threads inside the board that you cannot see that keep the shape of the boards when inflated)?
Double or single skinned? All of our board are double skinned, helping the rigidity and reducing the chance of puncturing.
Make sure to compare like for like, with quality of the accessories - the bags, fins and paddles?
