Overall, the board delivered an impressive performance and provided valuable insight into the new Red Paddle Co Sport Plus 14′ x 28″ model. Heavier paddlers who are well under 6′ tall can get away with a 10-11 board that is over 32” wide. Paddlers over 6′ tall across the weight spectrum will do best to prioritize length.Short boards are more maneuverable than long boards, making them great for surfing waves. Boards designed specifically for kids are typically around 8′ long. Medium boards (10′ to 12′) are ideal for all-around use and for SUP yoga.As a general rule, paddlers up to 95kg should consider a board no wider than 32 while those above 95kg should look at one that’s either 33 or 34 wide.

Over inflation: The Leading Cause Overinflation is the most direct path to a paddle board bursting. Boards are designed to operate safely within a specific range of air pressures, measured in PSI (pounds per square inch). Exceeding this limit can strain the board’s materials and seams, potentially leading to a burst.
Why not buy a cheap paddle board?
The cheaper inflatable paddle boards in the market tend to be constructed with glued seams which over time and constant inflating, deflating, folding up, and unfolding tend to loosen and cause punctures. This is dangerous. There’s nothing worse than being out on the water and realising that your board is deflating! While beginners can do surfing and SUP, it is much easier to begin on a SUP. Learning to balance on a paddleboard and developing the core muscles you use in paddling is much easier to do on flat waters than in waves.Inflatables tend to lose momentum more quickly, partly due to increased drag from flatter hulls and slight flex in the structure. Over time, this reduced glide efficiency forces the paddler to work harder, contributing to quicker fatigue and lower sustained speeds compared to a similarly sized hard board.Use smaller boards that are more manoeuvrable. SUP surfing is an extreme aspect of the sport and should only be undertaken by very experienced paddlers. Riding stand up paddle boards in white water rapids. White-water SUP is an extreme aspect of the sport and should only be undertaken by very experienced paddlers.Why Is Paddle Board Thickness Important? An inflatable SUP needs to have a certain amount of thickness to ensure that it has enough rigidity and stability to support a rider’s weight on the water. However, if the board is too thick, then riders will have trouble feeling “connected” to the water.
