Supboarding is a form of surfing. But, unlike the more common and familiar to all sports, riding a sup board is practiced with a paddle. And this means that such a board is used not only where you can catch a wave, but also on absolutely calm water, in almost any body of water. It is suitable for those who just want to ride, fish, master complex sports tricks and add many more interesting tasks to their leisure time. You can master the SUP board, which our store sells, at any age - now they even produce special products for children.

Types of SUP boards depending on the use

When choosing a sup board to buy in an online store, carefully study all the characteristics of the products. You need to take into account the length, weight, displacement, the maximum allowable weight of the person who will operate the product.

Depending on the purpose of use, the boards are divided into options for surfing and rowing. In the first case, respectively, the rider will catch the wave, and in the second, he will ride on a more or less flat surface - boards for such purposes are also called pleasure boards.

SUP surfboard (Paddle Surfing) is more compact, because it should be distinguished by maneuverability, high speed. Optimal length for such tasks - no more than 2.9 meters. If you plan to ride calmly, rowing, then the product should be longer and more stable. In this case, look for solutions at 3.8 or 4.3 meters. They are easy enough to hold even for beginners.

Rigid or inflatable options?

You can also buy a sup board of one of two types, depending on the type of construction - inflatable or rigid. The debate about which of these options is better has been going on for a long time. But everything is simple here: an inflatable sup board, since it can be blown away, takes up less space, it is easy to transport. For hobbyists who do not want to create problems for themselves with transportation and storage, this is a convenient solution.

When you need a professional SUP surfboard, consider rigid models first. This sport is good because manufacturers offer a huge selection of products for every taste and budget.

price spread

There is no single opinion on how much a sup board should cost: prices in Moscow depend on a lot of factors. Children's models can be purchased for about 20 thousand, products for adults start at an average of 25-35 thousand rubles. There is no upper ceiling, as in any sport, because expensive custom-made solutions are always relevant. But among factory goods for 80-90 thousand you can already buy quite professional, very quality species boards.

In the age of high technology, if you want to know something better, use the Internet access. Nevertheless, even if you ask Yandex what SUP or Stand Up Board is, the Russian-language answer will be only on the second page, in the second ten - a company of kiters who carry SUP boards on order and just don’t deliver them to Russia.

In the meantime, as correctly noted on that kiter site, SUP is becoming more and more popular abroad. So what is SUP?

Most of you are familiar with surfing. There is windsurfing and there is regular surfing. For the first, you need a fairly large board, sail and wind, for the second, you don’t need a sail, but it’s all about the waves, it’s on them that the ride is going. But what if you want to train in balance on an unstable board, but there is no wind or waves near you? Or are there still no waves and there is still no way to transport a large windsurfboard and sail? The answer is SUP. SUP is also a board. Almost the same as in surfing. But only without a sail. A person can make quite long and distant movements on it, standing on it and controlling the oar. The steering style is a bit like that of the Venetian gondoliers, but the technique is closer to canoe rowing, only in a standing position.

SUP boards come in two types - inflatable and plastic. With plastic, everything is clear, the same principle as ordinary boards. But the inflatable board is a lot of possibilities.

First, it is much more compact. It folds into a package, like from a regular rubber boat. All you need is a pump and paddle.

Secondly, more often inflatable boards are made a little larger than plastic, and therefore, if you just like to travel long distances, such a board will give a little more stability in the presence of waves. Plus, sometimes they make elastic bands on these boards, so you can attach a small dry bag and put in it everything you need for a day trip (camera, snacks, etc.)

Now in the world, the spread of SUP is due to the presence of competitions in this type, as well as all sorts of records for crossing straits, lakes, etc. on SUP.

In addition, if you own a recreation center or water equipment rental center, SUP will be an original addition to the solutions you offer.

This season we will be glad to offer you the boards of the French company Aquadesign. Two of the three models presented by us will be inflatable and one will be made of polyethylene.

And for a snack for yoga lovers:

Your advantages are obvious - you can combine classes on fresh air and water treatments. What could be better in summer?

So, you are already interested and now you want to know where to start?

SUP equipment.

In this sport, you only need a few key pieces of equipment.

SUP board- This is the most important piece of equipment and, by far, the most expensive. The size of the board depends on the weight and experience of the paddler. Lighter and more experienced can choose a narrower board. For beginners, it is better to choose wider, more stable ones. More information about choosing a board at the end of this article.

Paddle: SUP paddles are distinguished by the presence of a bend, or "knee" on the shaft to increase the efficiency of the stroke, and a certain shape of the blade. Choose a paddle 15-20cm shorter than you are (some manufacturers recommend 20-25cm shorter than your height).

life jacket: If you plan to travel by SUP on the ocean or in waters where navigation is open, wear a life jacket.

Proper clothing: In cold weather, you will need a wet or dry suit, in warm weather, a T-shirt and shorts or a swimsuit is enough - anything you can get wet in.

Sun protection: hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.

Technics. Start

Board transportation.

Most manufacturers supply boards with a special handle for transporting them. If your board does not have such a handle, and you need to carry it for quite a long time, then The best way- on the head or slightly bent - on the shoulders. And here you need to guess with the balance so that the board does not outweigh either forward or backward.

Start in shallow water on calm water.

positioning on the board.

At the very beginning, it will probably be easier for you to row in a kneeling position than immediately standing up. Here are some suggestions for the first steps:

Standing next to the board, place the paddle across the board and use it as a support. The shaft should lie on the stiffener of the board, and the blade should be on the water.

Hold the board by the sides, additionally hold the oar with one hand. Sit on the board on your knees slightly behind the center of the board. Feel the balance of the board. The nose should not be too high, and the stern should not go under water. Keep your hands on either side of the center of the board for better balance.

The moment you're ready, place one foot first and then the other. Stand where your knees were on the board. At this point, you can use the help of a friend. Ask him to hold the board while you get up.

Technics. On the water

Rowing in a standing position.

Your feet should be parallel to each other and in the center of the board (equal distance from the sides of the board). Do not stand on the sides. Try to keep your toes looking straight, your knees slightly bent, and your back straight. Keep your balance by working your hips, not by tilting your torso. Keep your head and shoulders straight. Look towards the horizon, not at your feet. The technique is very similar to cycling: as you increase forward speed, stability increases. Once you start to feel confident in shallow water, it's time to go on a real trip. Here are some tips to help you improve. If you are stroking with right side, your right hand should be on the shaft, and with your left you hold the handle on top. The angle of the oar bend is directed in such a way that the blade looks in the direction of movement (see picture - left is correct, right is wrong)

Keep your arms straight and only turn your body while rowing. You should row with your body, not your arm strength, as your arm muscles are weaker. Lower the paddle into the water with your top hand (the one on the handle). Lower the paddle into the water, slide along the board under the water and then take the paddle out of the water. When you first start, do small strokes. Small strokes will be enough to keep you moving forward. To move in the forward direction, alternate 4-5 strokes on the left and right sides. When you change sides of the stroke, you must change the corresponding hand position.

Turns while driving.

There are several techniques for turning while moving.

Straight strokes. The easiest way to turn. Just row from one side until the nose of the board is pointing there. Where do you need.

Reverse stroke. Another fast way turn or change direction. You need to make a stroke back from the side in which you need to turn.

Sea paddles. Lower the paddle near the bow of the board and make a long, wide arcing stroke towards the stern.

Other Tips:

Stand a little aft and look over your shoulder in the direction of the turn, this will help make it happen. Another technique that works well especially in surfing is to paddle from your comfortable side (left foot in front if paddling from the right side). Bend your knees and put more weight on the leg closest to the stern. This will speed up the turn and make it easier to turn.

If you fell.

It is relatively easy to learn how to paddle on a SUP board, but that does not rule out accidental falls while mastering the skills. For times when you've lost your balance:

Try to fall into the water and not onto the board. If you miss the paddle during the fall, first climb back onto the board, and then row it up to the paddle.

Common rookie mistakes.

These mistakes are easy to make when you are just starting to master a skill. Try to avoid them and you will have a lot of fun on the water.

Hull tilt. Keep your back straight. Shoulders straight. Look down at your feet, not at the horizon. Wrong direction of oar bend. Wrong grip of the paddle - both hands on the shaft. Straight legs without bending at the knees. It is easier to balance if the knees are slightly bent.

Next steps.

When you finally master the basic technique, don't stop there. Ride the waves in the ocean, master new turning techniques and new types of strokes. You may want to change the board to a narrower and more maneuverable one.

In any case, enjoy the views and have a good time on the SUP!

SUP boards: which one to choose?

Once you get sick with the SUP virus, you'll want your own board. To choose the best, based on data on its weight, dimensions, volume, carrying capacity. Below you will find information to help you make right choice.

Board types

SUP boards vary in shape/purpose and materials.

Purpose - includes two main types: universal and tourist / high-speed. The advantage of these boards is that they are suitable for several types of paddling.

All Arounders - universal: These boards are offered in a traditional body design and are 305 to 365 cm long and 74 to 92 cm wide. They are best for beginners and those who want to travel on calm rivers, lakes, close to the shore or those who want to go fishing from the board.

Race, Touring, Downwind - Speed, expedition and windy boards: These boards are distinguished by a pointed nose shape and a rounded kayak-like body shape. Most are 380-425 cm long. The pointed nose shape is more efficient and requires less effort over long distances. Speed ​​and expedition boards are usually made narrower, so make sure the board is stable enough for you.

SUP Hybryd - SUP hybrid designs: The boards are hybrids that you can use as both a Sit on top kayak and a Stand Up Paddle Board. The versatility allows you to use the board for fishing, light surfing and travel. Often the models of such boards are equipped with fasteners so that you can take some equipment with you for long day trips.

Surfing SUP - SUP surfboards: Surfing beginners can try this sport on a wide, stable all-round board. Those who have already mastered enough can enjoy riding on a narrower board. If you are a pro, you can also use a shorter board that is easier to maneuver on.

Children's boards: Several types of boards are suitable for children, depending on situations. If the child rides on his own, a classic universal board, about 240 cm long, is suitable for him. It is easier to manage and carry than an adult board. Kids will also love inflatable boards as they are lighter, easier to carry and absorb impact from falls.

Women's boards: Standard boards are heavy and inconvenient to carry, as well as load on the roof of the car. Manufacturers have responded to the needs of buyers by creating special ultra-light boards with an additional handle in the middle of the body.

Board balance and width

Board width is the most important factor in determining boat stability. Boards are made up to 92 cm wide to meet the needs of people of any physique. Wider models - ideal for larger people, for people with low physical fitness and for those who have recent leg injuries. The increased width and thickness of the board adds to its load capacity and stability.

For example, for a person 195 cm tall and weighing 105 kg, a board width of 79 cm or wider and a thickness of 10.3 cm is suitable. On the other hand, people up to 170 cm tall and weighing up to 82 kg should consider options with a width of 73.7 to 76.2 cm. These boards will be more maneuverable and easier to transport.

And one more recommendation for people who pay a lot of attention to balance - pick up wider boards until you feel comfortable on it. Better then, when you feel more confident, change it to a narrower one.

Board length

For starters, the board needs to be a certain length in order to work for you. If the board isn't large enough to displace enough water, it won't keep you on the surface.

Other aspects of choice

For beginners and those who need a board for easy travel without any specific complex requests, a length of 305-365 cm is suitable.

Long boards are faster than short boards. If you are interested in expeditions and high-speed travel, you need a board with a length of 380 to 427 cm to either keep fit or travel long distances.

Advanced riders will benefit from shorter boards for more maneuverability.

Well, an important argument in favor of a certain length of the board is your ability to transport it by car, store it at home or in the garage, the distance to the nearest body of water, etc.

Fins

One big fin: It is usually fastened to the board in skids and screwed on with a bolt. The fin can be moved back and forth in the skids. When the fin is closer to the stern, the board will move better, which is good for expeditions, fast transitions and paddling in calm water. If you move the fin closer to the bow, the board will turn more easily, which is an advantage when surfing in white water.

Set of three fins: This set was originally put on surfer boards, but also works well on calm water. These straighter, stiffer fins are better for going downwind because they help long boards go more easily in big waves. On the other hand, if a hard fin hits a rock, you will most likely fall forward. Other fins are softer and will bend when they hit rocks, logs, or the shore. They will bounce off the obstacle and you can continue your turn.

Fins on inflatable SUPs: There are also non-removable rubber fins or removable semi-rigid fins.

Board designs

Boards are made from various materials, with a core of styrofoam wrapped in fiberglass, carbon or most commonly plastic. Boards can be hollow inside, or solid. Most spin-molded boards are hollow due to the manufacturing process, and some professional boards can be hollow to reduce weight while maintaining performance.

Plastic boards (rotomolding):- durable, affordable, heavy. Some models can be used as sit on top kayaks. These boards are good for families with children who want to dive into the water.

Fiberglass or epoxy based on polystyrene foam: average cost, can be used for various types rowing. The most popular type of boards. Design features vary within this group, so weight also varies. Some boards have a wood core under a fiberglass deck to increase strength and stiffness. Others use an epoxy coating process that makes the outside of the board very durable.

Inflatable: Durable, easy to transport, can be used in a wide range of rowing styles (from white water to low speeds). Made of PVC with taped seams, inflatable boards are easy to store at home, on the top shelves of racks, or in the trunk of a car.

Opt for a hollow or inflatable board if you find it difficult to carry heavy epoxy boards. Or travel in groups so that someone can help you transport the board.

board cost

The cost per board usually ranges from $600 to $2,100. The cheapest ones are made of durable hard plastic and the heavier ones. Top models of boards are made from ultra-light materials such as carbon or bamboo.

Don't forget to budget for the paddle, life jacket and harness. Boots or rafting shoes will also come in handy if you have to walk on wild beaches or shores. Finally, you may need a wetsuit if you want to travel in cold weather.

To save money, many families use one board during the day for the whole family with 1-2 children. For these purposes, it is a great idea to use an adjustable paddle.

When you are about to buy a SUP board and start browsing the Internet, you must be experiencing a slight misunderstanding: how can the same product cost from 22 to 120 thousand rubles? In addition, you need to decide on the shape and size of the SUP board, load capacity, choose an oar and accessories. Our catalog includes more than 100 types of boards, 85 types of oars and many accessories. To help you make the right choice, we have put together this review.

We want to note that we are compiling a review exclusively objectively. In our company, it is not customary to scold competitive online stores and brands that are a priority for them.

The review is based on the range available in our company in 2019.

Choosing the shape of the SUP board

The shape must be chosen depending on the style of riding.

Choosing a board for pleasure riding on smooth water

It is thanks to its accessibility for mass skiing and simplicity that SUP surfing has become the most popular type of surfing in the world today. Most people just want to ride on a river, lake or sea in a calm, enjoy the views and sunbathe. No extreme. Therefore, the most common style of skiing is walking. For these purposes, you need a large, wide and stable sap, which is called a walking (Travel). Board sizes range from 10"6 to 12"6 feet. Thickness 10-15 cm, width - from 80 cm. Oval shape.

Travel shells usually have 3 fins: two small side fins and one large middle fin, usually removable. The carrying capacity of walking boards is from 80 kg. They ride one or two. It is these paddle boards that should be bought by heavyweights, people whose weight exceeds 100 kg.

Walking SUPs are in the lines of all brands. The choice must be made sooner appearance. Premium brands make very beautiful SUP boards, pleasant to the touch, everything is glued evenly, the glue does not stick out anywhere. Beautiful translucent fins, graceful handles, fashionable bags. Anomy company produces designer paddleboards with prints by famous artists:,. These are perhaps the most fashionable positions in our assortment.

SUP boards also differ in the materials from which they are made. Cheap ones are made from simpler materials, they smell a lot when new. You should not store such a SUP board in an apartment, the smell is quite toxic. This is not dangerous for an adult, but it can be dangerous for small children and small pets. Premium brands (Red Paddle, Shark, JP Australia, Anomy, Fanatic) produce almost odorless products.

The type of material also affects the weight of the board. Good material allows you to make it significantly lighter without reducing the number of layers on the sides, which determine the rigidity of the SAP. So, for premium travel models, the maximum pressure reaches 25 PSI (pounds per inch, this is more than 1.5 atmospheres) with a projectile weight of up to 7-10 kg. Inexpensive SUP boards weigh 13-14 kg each and the pressure limit is up to 18 PSI.

The walking SUP board can also be used as a surfboard if your weight is large enough. With a small weight, you should not use a travel model for surfing on the waves, as the maneuverability will be low.

Choosing a SUP board for wave surfing

How to choose a board with a paddle if you are going to surf the waves? If your weight does not exceed 90 kg, then it is better to choose from the Surf series. Surfboard sizes range from 7"8 to 10"6 feet. These are short and thin paddle boards - up to 10 cm thick.

The shape of the SUP board is distinguished by a narrowed stern, there is a ledge for the legs. The mat can be both soft and hard, but it is better to choose a hard one - at speed and when maneuvering on waves, you need good grip. The fins are usually two glued short and one removable 9 inch.

Surfboards are available from Shark, Red Paddle, JP Australia, Starboard and Fanatic.

When deciding on the size of a surfboard, it is important to note that not all short paddle boards are good for surfing. For example, the short SUP board Gladiator is more suitable for children's walks and will suit light riders due to the simple rounded shape.

For surfing, there is a board in the Red Paddle line.

Consider surfing products in the Shark line, there is a wide choice. There are three models for surfing -,. The founder and chief designer of the company Shark - Alan, he is an excellent surfer and makes SUPs, one might say for himself, to ride them himself. He personally tests all the paddle boards and rides only on his own equipment. Surfers note that in terms of shape and maneuverability, they are made just perfect.

The Australian brand JP Australia Surf Air 9 "7 has a similar shell. The founder of this brand is professional surfer Jason Polyakov, the winner of many surf competitions, which is also important to know when choosing a board. Surfers design shells the way they should be and improve every year driving performance, stiffness, weight and maneuverability.

The cost of surf SUP boards is quite high, primarily because they are produced mainly by premium brands. A relatively inexpensive surfboard can be bought from Shark, and the quality will be no worse than premium brands. Children and light riders can use the SUP as a pleasure surf.

Touring boards

Touring paddleboards are designed to ride long distances on smooth water. In shape, they are already walking, have a pointed bow and a wide stern for greater stability. This shape allows you to literally slide on the water, which significantly increases the speed. Touring boards are easy to cover long distances with little effort.

Touring paddle boards are made thicker, at 15 cm each, to provide load capacity and rigidity. These boards range in length from 10"6 to 13"2 feet. The width of the touring model is usually from 73 to 76 cm.

In terms of stability, the touring SUP is slightly inferior to travel models, but in terms of speed it wins. If on a walking board you don’t need to spend time adapting at all to feel the balance, then on a touring board you will have to get used to it a little.

The fin of the touring projectile is usually one, removable and large, which allows you to better keep the course. Some manufacturers make an additional two small ones. Remember that one fin is a significant limitation in shallow water.

Of course, the touring board easily turns into a walking board. It will be inconvenient to ride the waves on such a projectile, the long and narrow shape does not allow you to quickly maneuver and catch the wave.

This year Shark have updated their line of touring boards, removing the small 10"6 and adding another 12"6 with a width of 81cm, this board will be more stable and great for heavy raders.

Touring SUP boards are available from many manufacturers: Red Paddle, Shark, Gladiator, Jobe, Naish, Fanatic, Starboard, D7, Bic and others. Often the name of the board has the word Explorer or Touring.

The selection criteria are the same as for travel models:

• Design,
• Material quality,
• Rigidity (how much PSI can be pumped up),
• The quality of the kit
• Availability and quality of paddle.

Sports high-speed SUP-boards

Red Paddle and Shark have very worthy sports inflatables. Red Paddle additionally equips its sports boards with fiberglass stiffeners. There are even children's sports boots!

SUP-wind boards (inflatable windsurf boards)

Recently, many manufacturers have begun to offer universal inflatable boards for windsurfing and SUP. As a rule, this is a walking SUP board with a sail mount. The sail will fit the most ordinary.

An inflatable windsurfboard has several advantages over a rigid one. First, it is stronger, indestructible. Secondly, it has a rubberized body, which again saves the board from constant falls of the mast on it. Thirdly, it is more pleasant for the athlete himself to fall on the inflatable. It is for these reasons that more and more beginner-oriented rentals choose inflatable windsups.

Today there are even professional inflatable boards for windsurfing. They are distinguished by the presence of a daggerboard, leg loops, and an original shape. Our range includes a board - this is a real inflatable windsurfing board!

Windsup boards are available from manufacturers: Shark, Red Paddle, Fanatic, Mistral, Naish, Aqua Marina, D7, Starboard, Bic, JP. This year, the manufacturer JOBE has been added to this list, they have released a board with the ability to install a sail - Venta 9"6.

When choosing a SUPWIND board, you need to pay attention to the length of the removable fin. For windsurfing, the presence of a second central removable fin (daggerboard) is also important. By the way, there is also a nuance - all manufacturers have just a second fin in the middle, while Red Paddle, Bic and Starboard have a real centerboard, i.e. a through hole in the board where a large fin is inserted.

Starboard and Aquamarine have boards with leg bindings and a sail included.

In the Red Paddle, Starboard, Mistral and Aquamarine line, in addition to boards, there are also sails ranging in size from 1.5 to 6.5 meters. Especially popular are from Starboard.

When choosing a supwind board, you need to pay attention to the reliability of the board. Choose models with dense PVC, 23-25 ​​PSI or a model with stiffening stringers. Rock collisions while parking can be quite severe and it is important to have a strong sup.

Any exotic

Some manufacturers produce special shells for girls and children. Usually this is just a surf or travel model of a certain coloring.

SUP yoga boards

Shark, Red Paddle, Mistral, Aquamarina, Starboard and Jobe produce SUP yoga paddle boards. These are large travel boards with a mat all over the deck, additional handles and paddle mounts.

An unsuccessful option for yoga at Aquamarine is a board of a strange rectangular shape. There is a plastic handle in the middle, which makes it difficult to exercise. In addition, the board is very small for tiny girls and you just can’t turn around on it! However, the Super trip model of the same manufacturer is simply created for SUP yoga, although it is not positioned as such.

Big SUP and tandem boards

Big SUP is a gigantic SUP board for 4-12 people. Perhaps the best projectile for corporate entertainment. Riding on such a board is more difficult than on a single sap. The model is quite unstable and does not hold its shape well. But it's fun - tested on yourself! Highly recommended for rentals.

This year big sups released Shark, Red Paddle, Mistral, Fanatic. The kit usually comes with a board and several hand pumps.

Tandem boards are elongated boards for riding 2-3 people. The same board can be used by a single rider with a large weight of 120kg+ and tall height. Shark (), Red Paddle and Aqua Marina have such models this season.

SUP for fishing

So far, SUP boards for fishing are available from Aquamarine, Starboard, JP Australia and Bic, but the boards are not very popular, so most of them are available only by pre-order. Such models are equipped with special mounts for fishing rods and fishing tackle. Aquamarine also has a cooler seat.

In the assortment of our store there is. With their help, any travel board can be turned into a fishing board!

SUP boards for white water (White water SUP)

These models are short in length, up to 9.6 feet, very wide and thick. Also equipped with multiple handles (up to 6). The body is reinforced with thick PVC, so these boards are simply indestructible. However, such boards are therefore heavier. They are intended for SUP rafting, whitewater rafting.

Such boards are presented in the lines: Red Paddle, Shark, Fanatic, Starboard.

White water SUP board can be used as a walking board - very stable.

SUP with pedal drive

Hobie made a lot of noise in the SUP community with their board. The handle and pedal drive are removable, so the board can be used as a regular SUP.

sup dragon

By analogy with the kayak dragon, the Red Paddle company released. This is a racing board for 4 athletes. The D7 brand made a similar board called .

This area is developing very quickly. The World Championship is held in this discipline Dragon world series. At one of the rounds of the World Cup, the team from Vladivostok took 3rd place. Also, team swims are held at many starts, as a separate category, for example, at the Gla Gla race.

In 2018, the SUP-club team took 3rd place in the Russian Championship in dragon racing.

SUP hydrofoils

These shells are simply a miracle of technology. This SUP does not go, it flies over the water! This is made possible by the large T-fin. The board rises above the water only at high speed, so these models need to ride the waves (surf) or merge downwind.

SUP hydrofoils are available in the Starboard and Naish line at .

Complete set of boards

The set of SUP-boards significantly affects the cost and comfort of skiing.
