Navigating the choppy waters surrounding inflatable stand-up paddle boards (or iSUPs, for short) is tricky and often confusing. There are just so many brands out there offering pump-up vessels that claim to rival their EPS and foam core counterparts in terms of performance and stiffness, but this isn’t always the case.
In fact, the market is littered with cheap and cheerful boards that look like they represent great value but often end up in the bin after a couple of uses because they scrimp on materials, flex like a limp banana or just aren’t able to cope with much more than floating around mirror-like lakes.
