Can You Surf On An Inflatable Paddle Board?<\/h2>\n

The short answer is, yes. You can catch small waves with any paddle board, but if you want to do some carving and ride larger waves you are going to want something more specialized.<\/p>\n

A solid paddle board is going to give better performance than an inflatable but not everyone has the room or a way to transport them.<\/p>\n

This is where inflatable paddle boards are perfect, you can still surf while having the option to throw your board in the trunk of your car when you are done.<\/p>\n

See Also:\u00a0Inflatable Paddle Boards vs. Solid (Hard) Paddle Boards<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When purchasing a surfing inflatable paddle board there are a few things that are going to be important.<\/p>\n

First, you want a shorter board, less than 10 feet.<\/p>\n

Second, you want a thinner board than the standard 6-inch, this makes maneuverability better, and less likelihood of catching the rail (side of the board) on the water and flipping over.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I\u2019m pretty excited about these inflatable paddle boards, catching waves is so fun on a paddle board and ISUP\u2019s can be taken on a plane as a carry-on making them very convenient for wave chasers.<\/p>\n

1. Redder Rogue ISUP<\/a><\/h3>\n

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

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

The Redder Rogue is a fantastic short inflatable paddle board that can be used for both surfing and all around paddling.<\/p>\n

It’s is 9 feet long, 30 inches wide, and 4 inches thick.<\/p>\n

The max weight capacity is 265 pounds with a rider weight capacity of 198 pounds.<\/p>\n

It weighs 20.28 pounds, has two angled stabilizer fins for better control on the waves, and a slide-in center fin.<\/p>\n

This is more of an intermediate to advanced board because the pointed displacement nose is going to sit more in the water for a faster ride but a more unstable one.<\/p>\n

The Rogue has a raised kickpad. The foam footpad is bumped up on the back of the board making it so you can have more control when popping the board up over waves and maneuver better when surfing.<\/p>\n

The kickpad is not something you have to have, but if you plan on surfing bigger waves it will really help you pop the nose up and give you more steering control.<\/p>\n

See Also:\u00a0Best Waterproof Dry Bag For Kayaking, Camping, Paddling<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

It has a pointed nose for picking up speed and a double-layered PVC construction for rigidness and durability.<\/p>\n

This board is only 4 inches thick and you have a little more rail control, much like a traditional surfboard.<\/p>\n

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

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

To see the Redder Rouge in action check out this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Redder Rogue ISUP<\/a> is one of my favorites.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very specialized for surfing and it doesn\u2019t break the bank. It\u2019s going to take some time getting used to, especially if you haven\u2019t surfed on a paddle board before, but with the double PVC, it can take a beating.<\/p>\n

A kickpad is an excellent feature that I personally prefer when paddle board surfing.<\/p>\n

All in all, when it comes to surfing this inflatable paddle board is a performer.<\/p>\n
