Some tips to correctly play with the inflatable stand up paddle board. Don’t store your inflatable SUP in direct sunlight. Just like keeping your board dry, direct sunlight won’t instantly damage your board, but repeatedly storing your equipment in direct sunlight will result in deterioration in the long run and shorten the life of your board. UV radiation is harsh and particularly damaging to PVC when exposed repeatedly day after day. If your board is left in the sun, make sure it’s at times when it’s in use or drying off after a fun day on the water.
Paddles for inflatable SUP: You can buy the best inflatable SUP out there, but without a good paddle you won’t get very far. Getting a quality paddle that works well with your body and paddling style will make stand up paddle boarding a bunch more fun. Does that mean you have to buy a top-of-the-line paddle? Not necessarily. To choose the right inflatable SUP paddle for you, consider these factors: Getting the right size paddle is key to maintaining proper paddling form and efficiency. The materials used to construct a SUP paddle play a role in determining the weight and stiffness of the paddle. Generally, a lightweight paddle is preferred, but keep in mind that you usually pay more for less weight. Blade size, shape and offset: The size, shape and offset of the paddle blade define how the blade moves through the water. You’ll choose a blade based on the type of paddling you do, your body type and personal preference. Usually, the larger you are, the bigger you’ll want your blade to be.
Sun and fresh air: There’s a lot to be said for simply being out in the fresh air. The air around water, particularly the sea, is a lot fresher than it is in towns and cities, so you immediately feel the benefit of being out on your SUP. Fresher air is good for your heart, lungs and your immune system. It also gives you a bit of a feel good kick too. That’s not all you get from being outside. The sun is a natural source of vitamin D, and with modern hectic lifestyles, this is becoming increasingly important. Being stuck in an office all day, then going home in the dark, you won’t get the benefit of much sunlight. Without Vitamin D you will feel tired, you will be more susceptible to muscle aches and pains and it can even cause depression.

One more inflatable stand up paddle board advice: Look at the horizon: When we first start paddling the natural temptation is to look down at the board, to watch the water lapping at the sides and to pray we aren’t going to fall in! However for the best stability, you want to keep your head up, back straight and your body weight over your toes. It sounds silly but with your head down watching you’re toes, you are likely to rock back on your heals and then hello water! Watch this video by Sam Ross about standing up on your SUP.
