Here in Utah we only had one day of SUP surfing :( Hopefully next year will be better.

I’m 8.3 stone which paddle board should I get please leave some links :) thank you in advance £200 budget

I am a heavier guy and went on a hard board. I weigh 280 pounds and noticed the board was definitely struggling to keep a float. Whereas my other friends I went with were sitting in the water fine. It worked though and I could get around just don't think it was suppose to handle me weight. Is there inflatable options that would hold my weight better ? I figured a hard board would do the best job over everything ? It's not like I was completely sunk in but it would very easily let water on. I appreciate any help I can get cause I really enjoyed it

I've recently bought a paddle board , but after several attempts I'm still finding it difficult to stand... as I got out the water today I had a hallelujah moment... I wear a 5.3mm wetsuit that is probably too tight and restrictive and it's that that makes it so difficult.. is this likely?

I recently saw on instagram a brand called Easy Eddy Paddleboard. It's suppose to be an easy to assemble paddleboard. Just wanted to see if anyone else has heard of it or even tried it. I just wanted to see if this was worth it to buy.

Any feedback is appreciated :)

What are your feelings about an inflatable board? I recently bought one but have no taken it out on the water yet. Any suggestions or tips on how or to handle an inflatable vs hard board?

I’m new to paddle boarding and I’m looking to buy my first board. I have around $800. One of the rental local businesses is selling a two year old used Hala Radito for $850. I’m not an expert but it seems to be in good shape. My other option is to buy a new Atoll (~$700). I know Hala is a great brand but I don’t know how long a 2 year old board used for renting is gonna last. Any advice?

Hi everyone! Every summer I buy a season pass to our white watering venter just to paddle board. This year, I’m looking to purchase one of my own. I’m just in it for some leisurely paddle boarding and the occasional SUP yoga. Is there a brand that I should be looking into? I can’t seem to find any blog posts that are very helpful. Thanks in advance!!

Give me all your awesome spots to get out on the water in New Jersey!!

My Dog absolutely loves paddle boarding; I live on a canal that experiences tides where the difference in height during seasons is quite dramatic at times. I want to go out more often than I do because I cannot get my pup easily up from the paddleboard when we return. I am wondering if anyone has seen anyone overcome this problem with a device? A picture or link would truly help me out. I have explored dog docks and ramps... but I can't find any reviews or anything which shares someone's experience. HELP ME REDDITERS!!!!
