How much PSI for inflatable?
PSI stands for pounds per square inch and will tell you how much air your board is able to take and how much it needs for optimum performance. PSI for inflatable SUP’s can vary from 10 – 20 PSI. Basically the higher the PSI number, the harder the board is going to be. What Is the Recommended Maximum PSI for My Inflatable Paddle Board? The maximum inflatable stand-up paddle board PSI is 20. We don’t recommend inflating your SUP beyond a PSI of 15, as you will only see small, incremental gains in the board’s rigidity past that point.Generally speaking, we’d suggest aiming for 15-22 PSI. This should ensure that your board reaches the levels of stiffness required for optimum stability, without you having to exert too much effort inflating your board or battle resistance from the valve when deflating it.PSI stands for pounds per square inch and will tell you how much air your board is able to take and how much it needs for optimum performance.
