Paddle Board Components for Your SUP
Even though there are not many components to consider for a SUP, some paddle board accessories can enhance your experience on the water. If you're using an inflatable paddle board, a reliable iSUP pump is essential to inflate your board before venturing onto the water. There are both hand pumps and electric pumps, with the electric ones requiring considerably less effort.
Regarding paddle board fins, there are essentially three distinct types available. These include flatwater SUP board fins, all-around multi-fins, and SUP race fins. The flatwater fins are the most prevalent; thus, if you have acquired an iSUP, opting for flatwater or multi-fins is advisable.
This category also includes crucial SUP leashes. You can find them in either a coil or straight design: coiled leashes are generally favoured as they retract on the deck, thereby reducing leash drag in the water; straight leashes are more suitable for surfing waves.
Other typical accessories for your SUP include paddle board bags, vent plugs, and paddle covers. If you are contemplating the purchase of an inflatable stand up paddle board but remain unsure of which type to select, check out our video for valuable advice on Buying a SUP Board.
