What is Stand Up Paddle Boarding?<\/h2>\n

Stand up paddle boarding is said to have originated in Hawaii around 2013, it\u2019s an offshoot from surfing where the rider stands up on the board and paddles to move around.<\/p>\n

The new sport\u00a0has exploded in popularity in the past years, and if you go to any body of water today, you are likely to see someone standing on a board paddling around.<\/p>\n

I love it, I got into it a couple of years ago, and when I go to any lake<\/a>, river, or ocean. I always bring my paddle board. You can use paddle boards for yoga<\/a>, surfing<\/a>, fishing<\/a>, multiple people<\/a> and even taking your dog<\/a> on an adventure.<\/p>\n

There are solid paddle boards and inflatable paddle boards.<\/p>\n

In this review, I am going to talk about inflatable paddle boards suited for beginners. Inflatable paddle boards (ISUP) have come a long way over the years, they can be almost as rigid as solid boards and just as stable.<\/p>\n

They are especially nice because they can be rolled up and stored in a bag, making them very convenient for people who don\u2019t have a lot of space or own a large vehicle to transport a solid board.<\/p>\n

If you want to know more about the difference between an ISUP and an SUP I go into more detail, here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Best Beginner Paddle Boards Reviews & Info<\/h2>\n

1. Goplus ISUP<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Goplus<\/a><\/p>\n

Check Price at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

There are 2 length options for this SUP, 10 feet or 11. Both are 30 inches wide and 6 inches thick.<\/p>\n

For the sake of this article, I am going to talk about the 11-foot one because it\u2019s better for beginners than the 10 foot one. It has a weight capacity of 330 pounds. There is only one removable fin which is enough for tracking easily through water.<\/p>\n

The Goplus has a 4 D-link bungee system on the nose, with 2 D-links on each side and one on the tail making it seat compatible.<\/p>\n

See Also:\u00a0Are You Paddle Boarding Legally Under USCG Regulations?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The paddle board has a rounded nose for all-around use and a narrow tail for better tracking through the water. It is long and wide for stability, making it a great beginner board. I bought one just like it when I started paddle boarding.<\/p>\n

\"Goplus<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Goplus<\/a> uses high-quality PVC with drop-stitch construction for rigidness and durability. There is one handle in the middle of the board. The footpad is extra long making for more board space if you want to bring along a child or dog.<\/p>\n

Included with the inflatable paddle board is a backpack\/storage bag, a single-action pump with a pressure gauge, a repair kit, and an adjustable paddle.<\/p>\n

The Goplus<\/a> is a good budget beginner ISUP, it has a fairly high weight capacity for heavier people and comes with everything you need to get out on the water. It\u2019s a simple board, and perfect for beginners of all ages.<\/p>\n
