Stand-up paddle boards, condensed as sups are popular among sea surfers and water babies whose hobbies include water activities. While the rigid versions of sups have long been used, the modern users refuse to spare a whole 12 feet in the already constricted space of their homes to a surf board. Resultantly, the manufacturers introduced inflatable sup boards that offer similar stand-up boating experience minus the hassles of finding a place to horde it.
Most people find the idea of blow-up rafts identical with inflatable sups. Curiously, the construct of both are very different, which is evident from the price tags they feature. Read on to know more about these boats.
Multipurpose Inflatable Sups
An inflatable sup is designed to float as a water transport and at the same time, serve as a mattress on flat and leveled grounds. These subs can be floated on the water and used as paddle boards, while in other times, you can use them to lay your back on for exercise, yoga, etc. The boards are soft and stable that gives the back a firm and stable alignment during the workouts.
Easy Storage and Carriage
Talking about storage, nothing can outdo an inflatable board. Unlike the rigid 12 feet structures, these ones take the minimum space. When deflated, they can be rolled up like a length of fiber and tucked to a far corner of the attic without blocking too much space. They are slim enough to fit in backpack pockets without much cramming and stashing. The boards can be easily heaved on top of trucks or rear storage of cars without doing much of a hauling job. Those who travel frequently will find an inflatable sup easy to pack with other light-weight items in their luggage, unlike the rigid models that can only be strapped to the roof of a van while travelling.
User-Friendly Boards
Conversely, it only takes 5 minutes to blow them back to their inflated form. With a blower at your disposal, you can prepare an inflatable sup in just minutes from a deflated sheet. The inflatable models are risk-free to use as they do not crack up or get punctured on coming in contact with a submerged rock. Instead, they bounce off and continue to drift in another direction.
