The advantages of an inflatable paddle board

The advantage of choosing an inflatable paddle board rather than a rigid board lies above all in its ease of transport. By definition it is simple to store, takes up little space, and thanks to an efficient pump, it can be ready for use in a few minutes. The Aquatone paddle board is pleasant to ride. It has a good gliding and great manoeuvrability at sea, in rivers or lakes. The Aquatone boards are stable and are accessible to beginners. However, ranges for more experienced riders are also available. Less stable than the beginner models, they allow you to reach higher speeds.

How to choose?

The offer is very wide and the brands are numerous, but Aquatone has acquired an international reputation, especially thanks to original designs that have made the inflatable more "fun". In order to choose your Aquatone SUP board, you must first determine the type of use you want to make of it, and adapt your choice to the size of the person who will use the equipment; for big sea outings, you will have to choose long boards that allow good speed, while for a more wave or allround use, you will choose a shorter and more manageable board. Generally speaking, beginners or inexperienced riders will opt for wide boards that provide stability. The thickness of the board should also be taken into account: a board of 5" (inches) or less will only be suitable for lighter sizes, while a thicker board will be necessary for larger sizes. Thickness does not only bring volume (and therefore buoyancy) to the board. It also stiffens the board, making it more efficient on the water (less energy loss) and more stable. In search of higher levels of performance, or for greater safety, our customers are happy to opt for brands such as Key West, Aztron, or even Starboard, Fanatic, and Red Paddle.
