Ranked one of the best SUPs on the market, the functional and durable build of the iROCKER line make it a reliable pick for explorers of all sizes and skill levels. Quick Answer: For all-around leisure paddling, inflatable SUPs are much better overall, due to advantages in durability, portability, weight, versatility, and injury prevention. But if you are buying a board mainly for SUP surfing or racing, certain technical attributes of hardboards make them worthy of consideration.Why we recommend irocker sups. Over the years, irocker has proven itself to us (and our readers) time and again that they are producing high-quality and fun-to-paddle inflatable sups, accessories, and more, with a high value position for paddlers across a range of budget levels.Paddleboard speed vs kayak is subjective, however, and depends entirely on the board and boat designs in question. A displacement hull racing SUP is faster than most kayaks (even sleek touring models). However, a general-purpose SUP is slower than a typical day-touring kayak.The Role of the Board Among these, touring paddle boards are specifically designed to glide through the water at higher speeds due to their narrow and long design. An inflatable board might be lighter, but it often lacks the stiffness of a solid board which can hinder speed.
