What’s a good price for a paddle board?
For novice paddlers who want a good-quality SUP experience, I would recommend budgeting around $1,000 and looking for paddleboards in the middle of the price range. At this pricing tier you will begin to experience better performance on the water and the construction will be a bit higher quality than low-level boards. The Lidl Mistral SUP Board is a great and good quality board for beginners that want to get started with Stand Up Paddle Boarding. This wide design board shape is especially suitable for starters and people with less than 5 years of SUP experience.Stand up paddle boarding is an excellent full-body workout, meaning, it works all the muscles in your body – your shoulders, chest, back, core, arms and legs. And while you’re getting fit, you get to be outside, in the sun, enjoying beautiful views and the sounds of nature.Paddleboarding is one of the easier water sports you can learn to do. It’s like surfing as there’s a large board you stand on, but that’s where the similarities end.Falling off your paddle board is bound to happen, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler. It’s part of the adventure and can even be a fun part of learning. However, knowing how to fall correctly can help you avoid injuries and make your paddling experience more enjoyable.Falling into the water and not being efficiently prepared or trained can cause major issues for those taking part in SUP. Weather conditions can also make paddle boarding difficult and could hamper participants being able to return to the board fully.
Is it worth buying a cheap paddleboard?
Durability. The durability of your blow up paddle board is important, especially when it’s inflatable. Once a cheap paddle board starts to break down, it tends to be more than just a simple issue and more than likely isn’t worth the effort of fixing so you’ll end up going and buying a new one. The bottom line is that inflatable paddle boards are better to use in general because they’re lightweight, stable, durable, and can be used in a variety of settings. However, if you plan on surfing, racing, or optimizing your performance, hard epoxy boards are the right choice.Rigidity = Stability + Performance An inflatable paddle board isn’t just “a balloon with a fin. At least, it shouldn’t be. A high-quality board feels rock-solid underfoot. Cheap ones flex, wobble, or feel spongy—especially under heavier paddlers.With proper care and maintenance, a well-built inflatable paddle board can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or more. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that the lifespan of your iSUP may vary depending on how often you use it, the conditions in which it’s used and stored, and the quality of construction.Durability: Surprisingly, inflatable paddle boards are more durable than solid paddle boards. Quality inflatables are made from military grade materials, so if you knock or drop your inflatable board, it won’t dent or scratch. This also makes inflatable boards perfect for white water paddling or paddling rocky rivers.
