Moderate size: It’s neither too big nor too small and anyone in the family can paddle it just fine. It is made with durable construction and you can count on it to last. You will also love the attachment points that allow you to bring paddling gear. Our experts stress the importance of safety on the water. Matt Knight, one of the heads of our testing team, said 'Lessons can be a great way to set you up on a paddleboard, making sure you understand elements such as water currents and leash safety.' However, the best boards are those with proper flowing plan shapes and feature elegant curves as you would find in solid boards. If you see a board with corners or angles, this should tell you that the construction is cheap and the performance low. Cheap bag: The included paddle board bag is not much but it’s what you would expect at this price point.

It would be a great fit for smaller paddlers or the young paddler in your life. They won’t have a problem carrying it over long distances.Stand up paddle boarding is all about having a good time. And that can happen even with a low-cost paddle board. So there is no need to buy a fancy expensive board if money is tight.

A wetsuit: If you plan on paddleboarding as the temperature drops, a wetsuit can keep you safe in cold conditions – especially since water temperatures can get close to freezing. If you're looking to get into paddleboarding and need a beginner's board, the Bestway Hydro Force Aqua Glider is a good option to consider. Lastly, iSUPs are durable. They don’t get dented as easily as the solid stand up paddle boards. They handle impact well and can last a long time. Are Cheap Paddle Boards Any Good?Most cheap inflatables can’t hold a lot of weight and tend to flex with heavier riders. The Outdoor Master Chasing Blue has a weight capacity of 320 pounds, which is commendable. With such remarkable stability and a good weight limit, you can use this SUP for yoga or paddling with your pup. I have to point out that, for me (at 192 lbs and 6’1), the Cruise 10’8 is too short. Larger paddlers should go with a longer board. I’d recommend the Nautical 11’6, Gili Air 11’6 (both mentioned in this review) – or Bluefin Cruise 12’. Quality construction: It is built using advanced drop stitch construction and it handles impact really well. It has a warranty of two years. Generally, the FBSport Inflatable Paddleboard is pretty easy to operate. It deflates and inflates effortlessly and the ankle strap provided feels comfortable to wear. Well-made: Even though it’s cheap, this is a durable paddle board that you can expect to use for years. It comes with a two-year warranty.
