The different models are suitable for use by people of different levels and sizes. If you're wondering which SUP board to choose, below we discuss each type you'll find at Sportano.SUP allround boardThe SUP allround board is a model designed primarily for beginners. It will mainly work well for recreational swimming and allows you to move calmly, not too fast on the water surface. The SUP allround board is best used on lakes, rivers or during calm days at sea. It provides stability and a feeling of safety. It is characterised by a slightly pointed bow and stern, with the bow being slightly raised in addition.SUP touring boardThe SUP touring board is a model with a much more pointed bow and narrower construction. It is usually used by intermediate riders, but is also sometimes used as a SUP board for beginners. It allows for slightly faster speeds than an allround and handles well even in small waves. SUP touring boards fit quite a bit of luggage on them.SUP race boardThe SUP race board is the longest, slimmest and most pointy of all. It was created for experienced users and professionals. It is the least stable but allows you to develop high speeds and win races. It requires a lot of experience and provides a very intensive workout for the whole body.SUP surfboardThe SUP surfboard is the model best suited to large waves. It is usually characterised by its small construction, which makes it difficult to maintain balance on it. This type of SUP board is used by highly advanced users. They are most prone to turning and have a high degree of precision. There are also windsurfing SUP boards on the market that can be fitted with a sail.Inflatable or rigid - which SUP board is better? SUP boards are further divided into inflatable and rigid boards. Due to the considerable size of the boards, inflatable ones are extremely popular. Made from ultra-strong materials, the models are filled with air, making them very hard. Once deflated, they are easy to fold and take up very little space. This makes them easy to take with you on holiday or to store at home without any problems. SUP rigid boards, due to their durable construction, take up a lot of space and cannot be folded. They can often be found in equipment rental shops as they are very resistant to damage. SUP boards are finding more and more uses. Not only is it becoming popular to sail on them, but also to practice yoga or fishing. SUP boards with seats or two-person boards that can be used with a child, for example, are now available in the shops. Don't hesitate to choose a model to suit your needs in our shop.
