Inflatable SUPs have an air core that needs to be inflated with a pump before they can be used. The body of the SUP is made out of PVC. Usually, when it is inflated, it becomes quite solid. The SUP comes with a storage bag where you can keep it when it is not in use. Here are the main advantages of using an inflatable stand up paddle board.

• It is portable

If you travel a lot and you would like to take your SUP with you, then an inflatable option is your best bet. This is because when deflated, the board becomes quite small and easy to carry. What's more, it comes with its own storage bag that has straps. This makes it easy to carry.

You can easily check in with it, whether you are travelling by bus, plane or even train. 

• You don't have much storage place

If you live in a tiny apartment or you do not have enough storage space for whatever reason, then this is the best stand up paddle for you. This paddle board is quite small when deflated and it can easily fit into a small space. For instance, you can stash it in your room or even the boot of your car.

• You are hiking

If you are hiking to a lake, then it is not wise to carry a heavy board. An inflatable stand up paddle board would be a much easier option to carry up the hill or mountain.

• To save money

Renting a SUP on a regular basis can be quite expensive. If you are a frequent surfer, it will be much cheaper for you to buy and use your own board.

These boards can easily be carried by one person on their own. For instance, you can go for a board that is carried in backpack form. There are other boards that come with bags that have wheels, so you can easily roll them around in a suitcase.

• They are quite solid

When blown up to capacity, they are just as rigid and strong as solid boards. However, they have the added advantage of providing a softer landing in case you fall over on your board when using it.

Conclusion

When choosing a stand up paddle, an inflatable option is a good choice. It is quite stable and long lasting and can be used by both kids and adults.
