Why not to buy a cheap paddle board?
In the low end, cheap paddle boards; the drop stitching is made with a cheap, low quality material which means after a couple of times of inflating and deflating your paddle board, these threads will snap. You will see people who have the cheaper sups, that their board is dipped in the middle when they’re using it. Why are paddle boards so expensive? Paddle boards are expensive because making a sup board that is durable, lightweight, and performs well requires the use of expensive materials and labor intensive manufacturing techniques.
